 +
 +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. This may seem undervalued,​ however, putting effort in the assignment will definitely help you in achieving a better understanding of the course material which will result in a better score in the paper exam which amounts for 70% of the grade.
