Question 1

You have been hired as a consultant by UMUC to help with their student information system. I would like you to login to my.umuc.edu and choose one of the functionalities (enrollment/registration, payment, etc) of your choice, then write a simple business document not exceeding ONE page. This document is called the functional requirements or business requirements which will be given to the technical staff/consultants who will translate the requirements into data model and create tables in the database using SQL. Please try to make it simple and just cover essential features.

Question 2

Based upon the functional document created in #1, describe the importance of relational data model or entity relationship model.

Explanation / Answer

Student information system (SIS), student management system, school administration software or student administration system is a management information system for education establishments to manage student data. Student Information Systems (often abbreviated as SIS) provide capabilities for registering students in courses, documenting grading, transcripts, results of student tests and other assessment scores, building student schedules, tracking student attendance, and managing many other student-related data needs in a school. A SIS should not be confused with a learning management system or virtual learning environment, where course materials, assignments and assessment tests can be published electronically.
