Let’s consider the following scenario:

Papa Georgeo (AKA PG) is opening a Pizzeria and he needs a database to capture and maintain the data for the entities Sales, Customers, Products, Purchase, Suppliers, and Employees. 

Business Needs:

PG would like to capture all the sales data with the details of every order. An order could be consisted of multiple items. For example, a customer could order 3 large pizza, 1 bread sticks, and 2 beverages in one order with one order ID. The Sales schema should capt
ure and maintain order date, customer ID, Order Time, Sub Total, Tax Amount, Total Due, Order Item, Qty, Price Charged for each item, Discount Amount for each item etc. PG is going to offer a club card (AKA PG Card) for his customers which they will hand it to the cashier to get points (those points are known as, you guessed it correctly, PG points! ???? ) every time they buy anything from the pizzeria. A customer can get a free pizza when he/she has accumulated enough points.  In addition, PG would like to track who is buying what so he can create different promotions for his customers with that information. The restaurant will accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards as payment method.

Note: Find the complete question in the attached document

1. Suppose that a dynamic table was used to store a hash table. That way we can ensure that the hash table is never half full or more, and performance should be good. Does the amortized analysis guarantee that the average cost of a put operation on the hash table will be constant time? Does it guarantee that the expected average cost of a put operation will be constant time? Justify your answers.?

1. Suppose that we have a perfect hash function. Is using a dynamic table to store the hash table useful? Why or why not?

Learn About Learning Styles.

Barbara Soloman and Richard Felder at North Carolina State Universityhave researched different learning styles. They created an instrument to assess learning styles on these 4 dimensions:

1. Active/reflective

2. Sensing/intuitive

3. Visual/verbal

4. Sequential/global

Find out more about each of these learning styles at their website (www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html (Links to an external site.)). Answer their Index of Learning Styles (ILS) questionnaire (there are no right or wrong answers) to learn more about your learning style. PrtScn/ snapshot your results( I attached two Screen Shots for me and my friend Martin). Compare your scores on the ILS questionnaire with the scores of 1 coworker(attached file Martin use it ). Write a summary paragraph (10 sentences) of the results you observed and what the results mean for you as a trainee.

In your summary, INCLUDE (in the 10 sentence paragraph) the answer this question: “Does any one of the training methods described in this chapter meet the needs of all the different learning styles that Felder and Soloman describe on their website?” Why or Why not (explain in 1 paragraph/5 sentences).

You should have gathered and read information from a number of sources related to your topic. State your topic and problem you are addressing in your dissertation. What trends are you seeing in the research related to your topic? What gap in evidence have you identified so far?

Most of the project work so far has dealt with project planning.  The purpose of this Individual project is to consider project execution, monitoring and control, and changes.  During project execution, things may change from what was planned, either intentionally (scope change) or unintentionally (risks and problems).  In this project, your team will field and deal with various project changes, and will monitor and track what happens to the project when things change.
