Class this wednesday, 30 October, and project first submission

29 outubro 2019, 09:28 • Alexandra Moutinho

This Wednesday 30 October there will be no class. A substitution class will be arranged and announced in due time.
The students can take the opportunity to work on their project description and entity-relationship diagrams, to be submitted for peer-review evaluation.
The following calendar is defined according to the evaluation method of POBD:
  • 6th November (till 23h59, through Fenix system): Deadline for submission of project description and database definition with entity relationship (E-R) diagram 
  • 7th November: Assignment of project descriptions and E-R diagrams for peer-review (each group reviews 2 other projects)
  • 12th November (till 23h59, through Fenix system): Deadline for project peer-reviews submission
  • 13th November and 15th November (during classes): E-R diagrams presentation and discussion
Till the 6th November, you should submit a pdf file (2 pages maximum) on Fenix with your case study description and the E-R diagram of the respective database. If you want, you can also submit your use-case diagram to support your database description, but it is not mandatory for other groups to provide feedback on the use-case diagrams. 
The purpose of this submission and consequent peer-review is to allow you to gain practice in designing E-R models but also to develop your communication skills (not only in communicating your ideas but also in providing feedback to others). Therefore, at this time focus should be given to: 
  • properly describing your project so that others grasp its purpose;
  • correctly representing the database E-R diagram, namely paying attention to notation, and that the diagram properly describes the database necessary to accomplish the description provided.
In the peer-review phase, your comments should also focus on these points. Please provide constructive comments to your fellow colleagues so that they can improve their work, as you would like to receive to improve yours. You should make notes in the pdf file provided indicating your suggestions/corrections. You can also print, comment and scan the document afterwards. Make sure the document is legible.
