This paper presents a new model for teac~hing database subject and its evaluated outcomes, in the context of Australian undergraduate education. The model is aimed at motivating students to participate in active learning or learning by doing. In addition to the regnlax assessments, students were given regular homework to complete as a part of sessional assessments. These homework were designed to be in tune with learning objectives of the subject. The tutors are assigned the task of marking and providing consultation help to the students, thus no extra resources are required for the new model. This model has been well received by the students with 87% of the students expressing preference to this model over the traditional model of tutorials. There is also strong evidence, specially from the examination answers of the students, that the new model has resulted in better accomplishment of the learning outcomes as compared to the traditional model.
