Describing the organisation situation Organisation full address (Name, Physical address and contact number) Organisation mission or business objectives Organisation general operating environment. Organisation structure |
0 = No description of the organisation situation 2 = 1/4 of the organisation situation is covered in the description or analysis. 3= 1/2 of the organisation situation is covered in the description or analysis. 4= 3/4 of the organisation situation are covered in the description or analysis. 6 = All the data elements in organisation situation are covered but with a narrow or inadequate description. 8 = All the data elements in the organisation situation are included with adequate description | ||
Defining problems and constraints Description of the challenges facing the organisation Identify the project constraints |
0 = No problem or constraints define 1 = Both Problem(s) and constraints clearly defined but are not database related. 1 = Only problem defined or only constraint defined 2 = Only problem(s) or constraint clearly defined . 3 = Both Problem(s) and constraints identify but not clearly defined. 4 = Both Problem(s) and constraints clearly defined but are not relevant to the organisation. 6 = Both Problem(s) and constraints well defined and relevant to the organisation.

Project objectives |
0 = No objectives for the database project 0 = Objectives defined but are not database related 1 = Objectives defined but not relevant to the problem addressed 2 = Objectives defined are relevant to the problem identified but are not clearly stated (i.e not understandable) 3 = Objectives defined are relevant to the problem identified understandable but are either too broad 4 = Objectives defined are relevant to the problem identified but are not realistic and practical 6 = Objectives defines accommodate all the requirements above. | ||||
Project scope and boundaries permission | 0 = No scope and boundaries of the project 0 = Scope and boundaries defined but are not relevant to the database problem defined 1 = Only scope or boundaries is defined 1 = Some scope and boundaries listed but not clearly define. 3 = 1/2 of the concepts (scope and boundaries) discussed are relevant to the database problem identified but are not clearly defined and are too broad 4 = 1/2 of the concepts discussed are relevant to the problem identified. 4 = All the concepts discussed but they are not relevant to the problem identified. 6 = All the concepts discussed are relevant to the problem identified, clearly defined and not too braod | ||||
OUTCOME 2 | |||||
Illustrate the ability to locate the sources of information and | Evidence shows that the learner did identify sources information and | Source of information | 0 = No Source of information 1 = Source of information provided not adequate 2 = Source of information provided relevant 4 = Source of information provided relevant and well presented. | ||

Database Design approach |
0 = No design approach 1 = Discussion of database design approaches 2 = Design approach do not correlate with problem 3 = Adequate design approach without justification 4 = Adequate design approach with justification | ||
Evidence shows that the student developed a conceptual database design | Conceptual Database Design Main entities Primary and foreign keys Normalised entities ER diagram |
0 = No conceptual design 1 = 1/4 of the elements covered with limited description. 2 = 1/4 of the elements covered with adequate description | |||
3 = 1/2 of the elements covered with limited description 4 = 1/2 of the elements covered with adequate description. 5 = 3/4 of the elements covered with limited description 6 = 3/4 of the elements covered with adequate description 7 = All the elements covered with limited description 8 = All the elements covered with sufficient description | |||||

Letter of permission and declaration | If the two documents are completed, signed and attached to the final report If not | Award student full mark obtained for the assignment Award 0 mark to the student | |||
Case base company or real-world company | As indicated in the assignment 02 information document, extra 10 marks will be awarded to students that put extra effort to find real-world organisations, schools, business, or NGOs. The reason for this is that the assignment is designed to make students gain a real-world experience for instance how to generate business requirement, |
