Lab 2: Modifying a Database Design in Visio

Due Week 4 and worth 75 points

This assignment contains two (2) Sections: Visio Diagram and Design Summary.
You must submit both sections as separate files in order to complete this
assignment. 

Use “Appendix A: Designing Databases with Visio Professional: A Tutorial,” to
help you complete Section 1: Visio Database Design. (Note: This tutorial focuses
on the use of Microsoft Visio. Open source applications are not covered in
Appendix A; however, the use of open source applications within labs is
permitted.)  Click  to download Appendix A.

After reviewing your database design from Lab 1: Creating a Database Design
in Visio, the college has provided more information for the database that they
want developed:

• For each student, the college needs to track the student  ID, student names,
  addresses, start date, phone numbers and types (such as mobile, home, work),
  email addresses and types (such as personal, school, work), gender, and birth
  date.
• For each course, the college needs to track the course ID, course name,
  department, quarters offered, sections, and instructor teaching each
  course.
• For each instructor, the college needs to track the instructor ID, name,
  address, phone numbers and types (such as mobile, home, work), email addresses
  and types (such as personal, school, work), gender, birth date, and the courses
  that each instructor is qualified to teach.
• Additionally, the college needs to track the final grades for each student
  after each course has completed.

Section 1: Modified Visio Diagram 

(Microsoft Visio or equivalent)

1.  Use Microsoft Visio (or open source equivalent)
in which you:

a.  Modify the database diagram from Lab 1 with the
entities and attributes that the scenario identified (i.e., a college tracking
students, courses, and instructors).  

b.  Create the appropriate relationships between
each entity within the diagram.

Section 1 of your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Submit the Visio diagram as a Visio file.

Section 2: Design Summary 

(Microsoft Word or equivalent)

1.  Write a one to two (1-2) page paper in which
you:

a.  Discuss the degree to which you believe the
Visio diagram reflects the database design.  

b.  Describe any assumptions that you had to make
about the business rules to in order to create the Visio diagram and the
associated relationships.

Section 2 of your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Submit the design summary as a Microsoft Word file.
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch
  margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
  school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
  instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is
  not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are:

• Describe the role of databases and database management systems in managing
  organizational data and information. 
• Recognize the historical development of database management systems and
  logical data models. 
• Compose conceptual data modeling techniques to capture the information
  requirements.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in database
  systems.
• Write clearly and concisely about relational database management systems
  using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions
