Topics
  • Review Conceptual Data Modeling Assignment
  • Logical Database Design Using Normalization
Computing Setup
  • Install Visio 2016
    Description: The preferred tool for doing the next 2 assignments is Visio 2016. You can download a free copy from the Illinois Webstore. Make sure you sign in to see your free download deal. If you cannot use Visio (ie. if you have a Mac), my best recommedation is to try using the MySQL Workbench Diagrammer. If you do, you will have to adapt the assignment to the features of that tool.
