  Take HomeTest 1(10%)- Cover Chapter 1-6 and Lab 1-5
 Final Test will be submitted in the three hours (30%) – Cover ALL
Chapters

(Test 1 marks will be return to students, however for Final Test marks it will not
be return to students as it is equivalent to Final Examination)

: Assesment 2 (Take Home Assessment) 20%

 Exercises based on Lab Lecture
 ERD/Normalization based on a case study
 Other topics TM/DDBMS/DW
: Assessment 3-1 Group Project (3-4 students) 40%

Each student will work in a small group (3 or 4 students) to design and develop
a database system for a small or medium size organization or enterprise.
SDLC phases must be followed. The goal is to design a good ERD in 3NF,
system flow chart and develop a function and user friendly database system.
At the end of the semester, students will submit video presentation of their
complete database system of their case study. Each student is required to
include 10 queries in SQL in their written report based on their case study and
include it in the video presentation. Even though the same project is being
design and develop by the group members; however the marks will differ
among the group members where there will be a peer reviews prior final
presentation. Please make sure all group member(s) participates in the group
project. In addition, each group will submit a good and comprehensive report
of the database system during the final project presentation.

 Project Proposal (10%):

Submit a proposal which consists of a company background,
problem statement, objectives, ERD and
3NF relational schema, attached the video of
the interview session, present the proposal.

 Final Project Presentation (5%)

Students should demonstrate:
- Social Skills and Responsibilities
- Values, attitudes and professionalism
- Communication skills, leadership and teamwork

 Final Project Database System (10%)

Students should demonstrate:
- A functional and user friendly database system
- Shows system complexity
- 5 SQL queries successfully ran must be included in the video
( Marks will be given based on the complexity of the queries)

 Final Project Report (15%)

Students should demonstrate:
- Social Skills and Responsibilities
- Values, attitudes and professionalism
- Communication skills, leadership and teamwork
Content:
- Table of content, Company background,
Problem Statement, Objective
- Revised ERD, Revised 3NF Relational Schema
- Entities (minimum 6) with data integrity, Data dictionary,
Data Definition Language, Data Manipulation Language
- Screen shots of database systems (menu, reports, forms)
- Good Presentation of the report
- 10 SQL queries in the report(question and output)/include all chapters
