In-class assignment (10 points)

Following figure shows a grade report that is mailed to students at the end of each semester. Prepare an
ERD reflecting the data contained in the grade report. Assume that each course is taught by one
instructor. Explain what you would choose for the identifier of each entity type on your ERD. Also,
come-up with an associative entity, if there is any.

Figure: Grade Report

The E-R diagram of the grade report for the students as explained in the question above :

The major parts of the diagram are “STUDENT” “COURSE” “INSTRUCTOR” AND

EXPLANTION

 The relationship "Registers For" between the entity "STUDENT" and "COURSE" with

 The cardinality relationship between the "COURSE" and "INSTRUCTOR" with "one-to-

 The entity "INSTRUCTOR" has the "Instructor ID" as its identifier attribute.
  The attributes of the entity " INSTRUCTOR " is "Name", "Location”
