  1. 50 pts - System A&D Quiz 6

    Visit this course in D2L and complete quiz SADCh06 by the due date / time for this assignment. This quiz takes its questions from Chapter 6 System Analysis & Design and will be a subset of questions in Chapter 6 Quiz Study Guide.

  2. 25 pts - Document data relationships

    Ref: (Video) ERD Mechanics in Visio

    Complete all three parts of SAD Ch06 Exercise 3 by creating Crow's Feet diagrams which show both minimum and maximum cardinality in a Visio document you name Ch06Ex03.vsdx. All three relationships can appear on one tab of the Visio document and use a text box inserted near each diagram to answer whether (and why) the relationship is identifying or non-identifying. Some clarifying errata for completing the diagrams:

    1. In 3.1, assume it is possible for a doctor to have no patients.
    2. In 3.3, assume that each theater must always show at least one movie but it is possible that some movies are not shown at any theaters.

    Attach the completed Visio document to this assignment in D2L.

  3. 25 pts - Develop ERD Documentation

    Complete your choice of two of Exercise 4.1 thru Exercise 4.4 from SAD Chapter 6 by completing Crow's Feet ERD's in Visio. Each ERD should be on a separate tab named for the exercise part (e.g., 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4); name the completed Visio file ERDDoc.vsdx and attach it to this assignment in D2L.

  4. 25 pts - Data Normalization

    Ref: (Video) Data Normalization Intro

    Use Visio to prepare a third normal form Crow's Foot entity-relationship diagram for Your Turn: 6A-1 Normalizing a Student Activity File from SAD Ch06. You do not need to show -- as the exercise suggests -- how the logical data model would change as you move from 1NF to 2NF to 3NF, just create a 3NF relation. Note that the exercise shows exactly three activities for a student but this was a way to suggest that a student can in general be involved in zero or many activities. Name your document Ch06A-1.vsdx and attach a copy to this assignment in D2L.
