Fall Semester 2002

Group Project: Database Design

Due date
Friday October 25 (IN LAB)

Late policy
Try to turn everything on time, no solutions will be accepted late.

Work policy
Working in groups is encouraged but please turn in your own version of the assignment. Also, please make sure you read, understand, and comply with the Computer Science Department's Statement on Academic Integrity before turning in your assignment.

Task
There are two parts to this assignment:

  1. Read Appendix A (Comprehensive Design Example, pp. 323-350).

    This part already has to be done for Homework Six.

  2. Look at Problem 2 on Page 351.

    Read the text of the problem (pp. 351-358) and prepare a short statement (two or three pages) that summarizes what the problem is asking for. Note that the only requirement is for you to clearly identify what's needed, and to summarize that in your own words, as if you were getting ready to work on a solution to the problem.

Turn your answers in clear handwriting or typed, on paper, in lab, to your instructor.

This page, the lecture notes, and Lab Notes Thirteen may provide more help on this too.

Grading
Feedback will be provided within a week, grades will be posted on-line.
