  15. Anomaly Example • What anomalies can you identify?

  16. Database or Spreadsheet • A small health food store has customers that pay a one-time membership fee. These members receive reduced prices on all merchandise.

  17. Database or Spreadsheet • The membership fee is an annual fee. You want to list only those customers who paid this year. Why?

  18. Database or Spreadsheet • In addition to name and date paid, you want to keep track of e-mail addresses for sending monthly newsletters and special promotions to current customers who use e-mail, mailing addresses for current customers who don’t use e-mail, and phone numbers to contact old members about renewing. Why?

  19. Database or Spreadsheet • You are the instructor of a course. You need to store multiple choice exam questions and answers. You plan to produce two versions of the exam with scrambled questions and scrambled answers. You also need to produce an answer key for each version. Why?

  20. Database or Spreadsheet • You are the instructor of a course. You need to store individual assignment grades for reporting at the end of the semester. You report all final grades at the same time. Why?

  21. Database or Spreadsheet • You are the instructor of a course. You need to store individual assignment grades for reporting throughout the semester. You want each student to see only his/her grades. Why?
