This document provides instructions for an ER modeling assignment. Students are asked to model the ER diagrams for 4 different databases using the Dia free software tool: 1) a CONFERENCE_REVIEW database, 2) a MAIL_ORDER database, 3) a MOVIE database, and 4) extract the requirements and constraints from an example ER diagram for a TRANSPORT_SHIP database. For each database, they are provided data dictionaries describing the relevant entities and attributes.
