CIS 111 Week 2 Assignment 1 Business Rules
and Data Models (2 Papers)
This Tutorial contains 2 Papers
Assignment 1: Business Rules and Data Models
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.
Use the internet to research the types of information that a college

Describe the purpose of the database.
Based on your research and / or common knowledge of a college and
the information tracked by a college, describe the entities of the
database and the attributes of each entity.
Based on your research and / or common knowledge of a college and
the information tracked by a college, describe the business rules that
could impact the structure of the database.

Determine the information that the conceptual model of the database
would include and determine the information that the physical model
of the database would include.
