Otherwise, if you use software to create the Database Design Diagram, then take one or more screen captures of the diagram, place the screen captures into a Word document, and submit the document. Submissions that are not in .doc or .docx format will not be graded.

Include the following in the document:

Draw 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.

Create the appropriate relationships between each entity within the diagram.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

Draw a database design diagram that depicts the attributes and relationships of the entities.
