Late Submission Policy Requests for extensions will be granted only for exceptional circumstances that are
supported by credible evidence. Duration of the extension period is only one week. Late
submissions are subject to 10% reduction in marks for each day of delay. Submissions

ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION:

Lab exercises are provided weekly to allow students to apply the concepts learned during lectures and
reinforce their understanding. Engaging in regular practice will enable students to proficiently design and
implement database solutions. The assessed component of these exercises will be conducted in Weeks 4, 6,
and 8.

TASK1: In Week 4, students will receive a business scenario. Their task will be to extract the business
requirements from this scenario and create a database model using an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD).

Note: Scenario will only be released in week 4, during lab hours

TASK2: In Week 6, students will be given an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD). Their objective will be to use
this ERD to construct the corresponding database.

Note: ERD will only be provided in week 4, during lab hours

TASK 3. In Week 8, students will receive a SQL file containing a database. You will be required to formulate
queries and run those queries. The formulated queries and results should be submitted in Moodle.

Note: Database file will only be provided in week 8, during lab hours
