+===== Group assignment =====
+The assignment is carried out in groups of 3 to 4 people. Before you can submit assignment part I, you will have to register in a group. The link to register a group is included below. Please to select your group before or on 25/10/2018.
+The assignment consist of 2 parts:
+  * Part I: Create a conceptual model and translate to a logical schema  (deadline 15/11/2018)
+  * Part II: (deadline 20/12/2018)
+    * Creating ETL scripts for updating the database in SSIS,
+    * Predicting how the size of the data warehouse will grow over time,
+    *  Deploy a data cube on top of the data warehouse and create a report.
+Assignment part I will be available on 25/10. For the next parts, assignment II will become available right after the submission deadline of assignment part I. The submission deadlines for parts I and II are strict.
+The assignment evaluation will count for 30% of your total grade.
