LIS3784 Information Organization & Communication - Fall 2006


Coursework ::

Clothing Store Relational Diagram

Instructor ::

Dr. Sabah Currim

Purpose ::

This assignment had two goals. The first was to gain skills using Microsoft Visio software. This task was working
with databases. Visio has tools that help in drawing ER diagrams. The second goal was to understand how databases
are organized visually.

Skills Learned ::

I learned a great deal about the Visio software that I never knew before. I also learned many things about primary
keys, foreign keys, one to many, many to many, one to many, normal forms, anomalies, identifiers and much more.
This class works really well with Database Concepts.

Skills Applied ::

Currently, I am enrolled in the Advanced Database course in which ERD diagrams need to be created and also read.
I am using the skills learned from my experiences in this course in many of my other courses. So I will be creating a
database at work for my company.
