Text
Preparation
In this assignment, you will be drawing an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) or Database Design
Diagram. The following videos and documents will assist you:
Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) Tutorial - Part 1.
Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) Tutorial - Part 2.
Ultimate ER Diagram Tutorial (Entity Relationships Diagrams).
Scenario
Suppose a local college has tasked you to develop a database that will keep track of students and
the courses that they have taken. In addition to tracking the students and courses, the client wants
the database to keep track of the instructors teaching each of the courses.
Instructions for the Database Design Diagram
Use any drawing package or any other application you know such as Visio, Word, PowerPoint, or
another tool to create the Database Design Diagram. Otherwise, you may draw the diagram by
hand with a pen and paper. If you draw the diagram by hand, then take one or more pictures of the
diagram with your cell phone or laptop camera, place the images into a Word document, and
submit the document. Otherwise, if you use software to create the Database Design Diagram,
then take one or more screen captures of the diagram, place the screen captures into a Word
document, and submit the document. Submissions that are not in .doc or .docx format will not be
graded.
