Subject Overview
Abstract
This subject will provide a solid grounding in database design . It will show the importance of
database design in the development of applications that meet business needs. There will be
an emphasis on modeling a database using Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), optimising its
design using normalisation techniques and implementing it and querying it using Structured
Query Language (SQL).
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, you should:
• be able to model complex business rules using Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs);
• be able to apply normalisation techniques to optimise a database design;
• be able to use complex SQL commands to query a database;
• be able to research a recent development in the field of database technology.
Subject content
The subject content is listed in the Schedule below.
The topics for this subject will be available in online format through the Topics in Interact 2
subject site. They have been specifically written to guide you. Check the above Schedule for
what Topic to study each week.
Key subjects
Passing a key subject is one of the indicators of satisfactory academic progress through your
course. You must pass the key subjects in your course at no more than two attempts. The first
time you fail a key subject you will be at risk of exclusion; if you fail a second time you will be
excluded from the course.
The Academic Progress Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00250) sets out

Learning materials
Details of learning materials that support your success in this subject can be found in the
Interact2 Subject Site.
Learning, teaching and support strategies

All of your subject materials are available on the Interact site under the Topics link in the left
hand side menu. I suggest that for each topic you read the learning objectives carefully, read
the overview, have a quick skim of the text. Once you have got a feel for what the topic is
about try and make a good set of notes under each of the topic review questions in that
topic. These questions have been designed to give you focus in the topic, so it really helps to
prepare a useful set of answers to them.
In this subject there are also lots of opportunities for you to engage with me, with your peers
and with the subject. I will be holding 12 regular sessions where we can discuss content
issues and assessment items. As part of your assessment in this subject you are required to
work alone for all the assessment items.
The study guide and/or subject materials for this subject have been written specifically to
guide you through the sections (and questions) of the prescribed textbook relevant to each
topic.
You should check the Interact Site at least weekly for postings, announcements, lecture
information and other resources that will assist your studies or additional information and
resources vital to your success in the subject.
Studying at university does not mean studying alone. Take advantage of collective wisdom
and post your questions to the subject forum.
Use the subject schedule to plan your studies over the session.

Task
Overview of business case:
Granite Sales Company keeps information on employees and the departments that they work
in. For each department, the department name, internal mail box number, and office phone
extension are kept. A department can have many assigned employees, and each employee is
assigned to only one department. Employees can be salaried employees, hourly employees,
or contract employees. All employees are assigned an employee number. This is kept along
with the employee’s name and address. For hourly employees, hourly wage and target weekly
work hours are stored (e.g. the company may target 40 hours/week for some, 32 hours/week
for others, and 20 hours/week for others).
Some salaried employees are salespeople that can earn a commission in addition to their
base salary. For all salaried employees, the yearly salary amount is recorded in the system.
For salespeople, their commission percentage on sales and commission percentage on profit
are stored in the system. For example, John is a salesperson with a base salary of $50,000 per
year plus 2-percent commission on the sales price for all sales he makes plus another 5
percent of the profit on each of those sales. For contract employees, the beginning date and
end dates of their contract are stored along with the billing rate for their hours.
Task 1: Write all possible business rules for the above case study. 3 Marks
Task 2: Create an ERD (using a specialization hierarchy if appropriate ) that represents the
entities, attributes, the relationships between entities, and the cardinality and optionality
of each relationship that are described by this business rule. 7 Marks
NOTE
Use https://www.draw.io to create your ERD
Use Crows Foot notations
Include the PKs where appropriate
Any M:N relationship is to be resolved to a 1:M relationship
Manually drawing the ERD is NOT acceptable.

Referencing is an important component of academic work. All assessment tasks should be

appropriately referenced. The specific details of the referencing requirements are included in
each assessment task description. Get referencing style guides and help
(http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu) to use for your assessments.
How to submit your assessment items
Online submission process
Assignment(s) should be submitted through Turnitin. If you are not enrolled in Turnitin for this
subject and/or do not receive any email from Turnitin by the beginning of Week 2, please meet
with your respective lecturer ASAP.
All textual elements within an assessment must be submitted in a format that is readable by
Turnitin. Specific exceptions, where an assessment requires the insertion of image based
evidence of workings will be outlined in the context of the assessment. Students that
deliberately attempt to insert content of assessments in a format that is not readable by
Turnitin may be subject to Academic misconduct investigations.
Assessment(s) such as Blogs, Quizzes, Journals and Discussion Forums are required to submit
in the Interact2, unless your lecturer advises otherwise.
Please submit the assignments only as word document in Turnitin, unless your lecturer
advises otherwise.
Assignment(s) must be submitted through Turnitin by midnight (AEST) according to the date
mentioned in the subject outline.
Assignment(s) submitted in the RESPECTIVE FINAL FOLDER only will be considered for

ITC556 201890 SM I Page 18 of 22
marking.
Postal submission process

Under normal circumstances postal submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
Hand delivered submission process
Under normal circumstances hand delivered submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
Alternative submission process
Please check online submission process for submitting or completing your assessments.
Extensions
It is best to complete assessment items by the due date. However, when something
unavoidable comes up, an extension may be possible. The following principles are used when
processing extensions
1. For in-session assessment items, an extension request for up to seven (7) days can be
made by emailing your subject coordinator directly before the due date. In your
email please state the reason why you need more time as well as what precisely you
are requesting. If an extension is requested in the above format with a valid reason
and your request does not disadvantage other students, the extension will be
approved. Computer problems (such as the speed of your computer and the time it
may take you to upload assignments onto Turnitin) and normal work-related
pressures and family commitments do not constitute sufficient reasons for the
granting of extensions.
2. For in-session assessment items, extension requests of more than seven (7) days must
be made via the special consideration form: https://apps.csu.edu.au/specialcons/. The
request must be made before the due date and must include supporting
documentation. Acceptable reasons are given in the Special Consideration Policy
(https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00298). Each request will be
considered on a case by case basis. The request may not be granted. You must be able
to provide documentary evidence (such as a certificate from a doctor or counsellor)
justifying the need for an extension as soon as practicable - but please note that if the
circumstances giving rise to the request for an extension arise on a day when you
cannot get documentary evidence, you must still apply for the extension before the
due date and submit the documentary evidence afterwards.
3. If you receive an extension, then you should expect the assessment item and its
feedback to be returned later. If you submit later than the extended due date you will
receive late penalties as per guidelines below. Unless your extension permits
otherwise, submissions received 10 days after the original due date will receive
zero.
4. For end of session exams, the process is a bit different. You can request a

ITC556 201890 SM I Page 19 of 22
supplementary exam via https://apps.csu.edu.au/specialcons/. This request must be
made within 3 working days of the date of exam and must include supporting
documentation. Acceptable reasons are given in the Special Consideration Policy
(https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00298). For medical issues, a CSU
medical certificate is required. If the supplementary exam (SX) is awarded then your
exam is moved to the next examination period. In order to preserve exam integrity and
manage the logistics of exams, the timing of a supplementary exam is heavily
restricted.
5. Extensions cannot be granted for on-line tests, as these have to be done within a
specific time frame, after which the answers are released to the class automatically
6. Note that for purposes of measuring lateness, the 'day' begins just after 00.00 hrs AEST
- so an assignment received after midnight of the due date will be penalised 10% for
lateness. This rule will be applied to all students uniformly.
How to apply for special consideration
Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if you suffer misadventure
or extenuating circumstances during the session (including the examination period) which
prevents you from meeting acceptable standards or deadlines. Find the form on the Student
Portal Special Consideration, Misadventure, Advice and Appeals (http://student.csu.edu.au/
study/academic-advice) page.
Penalties for late submission
The penalty for late submission of an assessment task (without obtaining the Subject
Coordinator's approval for an extension) will be:
10% deduction per day, including weekends, of the maximum marks allocated for the
assessment task, i.e. 1 day late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction.
An example of the calculation would be:
Maximum marks allocated = 20
Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20 and a score of 12/20
becomes 10/20).
If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the following Tuesday, then the
penalty will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks in the example above).
Submissions more than 10 days late will be acknowledged as received but will not be marked.
Resubmission
Under normal circumstances resubmission of assessment items will not be accepted for any of
the assessments required in this subject.

ITC556 201890 SM I Page 20 of 22
Feedback processes
Feedback for assessment items will be provided by subject lecturer/s. You may also approach
the lecturer for further clarification or feedback on the assignment.
Assessment return
You should normally expect your marked assessment to be returned to you by the return date,
if your assessment was submitted on time. If you submitted your assessment on time but have
not received the marks by the return date, you should make inquiries in the first instance to
the subject lecturer. If subject lecturer is not available please contact respective Course
Coordinator.
Student Feedback & Learning Analytics
Evaluation of subjects
CSU values constructive feedback and relies on high response rates to Subject Experience
Surveys (SES) to enhance teaching. Responses are fed back anonymously to Subject
Coordinators and Heads of Schools to form the basis for subject enhancement and recognition
of excellence in teaching. Schools report on their evaluation data; highlighting good practice
and documenting how problems have been addressed. You can view a summary of survey
results via the Student Portal SES Results (https://student.csu.edu.au/study/subject-
experience-survey-results) page.
We strongly encourage you to complete your online Subject Experience Surveys. You will be
provided with links to your surveys via email when they open three [3] weeks before the end of
session.
