Construct an E-R diagram for the registrar’s office. Document all assumptions that you make about the mapping constraints [JNTUK-FEB-2022]

Answer:

The assumptions made are :

1. a class meets only at one particular place and time. This E-R diagram can not model a class meeting at  places at different times.
2. There is no guarantee that the database does not have two classes meeting at the same place and time
