Suppose a local college has tasked you to develop a database that
will keep track of students and the courses that they have taken. In
addition to tracking the students and courses, the client wants the
database to keep track of the instructors teaching each of the courses.

that could represent entities within a database as well as attributes of
such entities.

2. Based on your research and / or common knowledge of a college and
   the information tracked by a college, describe the entities of the
   database and the attributes of each entity.
3. Based on your research and / or common knowledge of a college and
   the information tracked by a college, describe the business rules that
   could impact the structure of the database.
4. Determine the information that the conceptual model of the database
   would include and determine the information that the physical model of
   the database would include.
