MANAGING STUDENT COURSES:-
Summary:- Student database. The students, no lessons, just odd days throughout the year. Some are blocks (3 days). Consider a block - 3 single days. "First Aid", days named "First Aid day1"; "First Aid day2"; "First Aid day3". Tables:- tblStudent, StudentID, StudentName. tblCourse, CourseID, CourseName. tblCourseDay, CourseDay_ID, CourseDay_DATE, CourseDay_COURSEID-(from tblCourse) A Table to show the student(s) on a Course, tblStudentOnCourse, StudentOnCourseID, StudentOnCourse_STUDENTID-(from tblStudent), StudentOnCourse_COURSEDAYID-(from tblCourseDay), StudentOnCourse_BOOKED, StudentOnCourse_ATTENDED. Once the table "tblCourseDay" has been updated, then combine it with table "tblStudentOnCourse" Display courses in sub-form on the Student form. Operator can "check off" Attending. Later, "Check off" to indicate if the student attend.
Verbose:-
I have a new project I am pricing up. It is for a student database. The students don't reside at a college or university in other words there are no daily lessons like a school. They are in the community with the occasional learning days throughout the year. Occasionally there is a block of learning days, normally three in a row. The customer has specified that I treat these situations separately, and has run off some table diagrams for me. However I don't see that they are any different. The three-day modular course could be considered as 3 single days. You could have a Module "First Aid" & days named "First Aid day1"; "First Aid day2"; "First Aid day3". This would give me what I want single table to handle every day of the course. That's when I found the Ebola diagram, I was looking for a diagram to show me how to handle courses; by date; by student; I couldn't find anything suitable so on seeing this I thought I would post my question here. I am thinking the following tables:- tblStudent, StudentID, StudentName. tblCourse, CourseID, CourseName. tblCourseDay, CourseDay_ID, CourseDay_DATE, CourseDay_COURSEID-(from tblCourse) Now to pull it all together I need a table to show the student(s) on a Course, tblStudentOnCourse, StudentOnCourseID, StudentOnCourse_STUDENTID-(from tblStudent), StudentOnCourse_COURSEDAYID-(from tblCourseDay), StudentOnCourse_BOOKED, StudentOnCourse_ATTENDED. Once the table "tblCourseDay" has been updated with the years courses, then the records can be combined with the table "tblStudentOnCourse" allowing for the display of all of the available course dates in a subform on the Student main form where an operator can check off when a student has agreed to attend a course. After the course has run then the operator can "Check" to indicate if the student did in fact attend the course.
Your observations, critique & admonishment will be welcomed.
