Dear database class,

Here is one way of achieving what we wanted in class: displaying
teacher-course name info without duplicating course names.

SELECT name, GROUP_CONCAT( title )
FROM 
 (SELECT name, title
  FROM (instructor NATURAL JOIN teaches) NATURAL JOIN course
  GROUP BY name, title) AS temp
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY name

Try it yourself.
Paul
