A university registrar’s office maintains data about the following entities: (a) courses, including number, title, credits, syllabus, and prerequisites; (b) course offerings, including course number, year, semester, section number, instructor(s), timings, and classroom; (c) students, including student-id, name, and program; and (d) instructors, including identification number, name, department, and title. Further, the enrolment of students in courses and grades awarded to students in each course they are enrolled for must be appropriately modelled. Construct an E-R diagram for the registrar’s office. Document all assumptions that you make about the mapping constraints.

Consider a database used to record the marks that students get in different exams of different course offerings.
