Further, the enrollment of students in courses and grades awarded to students in each course they are enrolled for must be appropriately modeled. Construct an E-R diagram for the registrar’s office.

The entity set course-offering is a weak entity set dependent on course. The assumptions made are : a class meets only at one particular place and time. This E - R diagram cannot model a class meet
