摘要:Most books on Accounting Information Systems include chapters on Entity relationship diagrams (ERD) and onnormalization of databases. These concepts have to be taught within a framework on topics that include EnterpriseSystems, E-business, and Internal Controls. This paper discusses how the concepts of ERD and normalization wereintroduced and used together to design a database in a graduate-level accounting information class at asoutheastern university. The course made use of Oracle’s Data Modeler for ER diagrams and Microsoft Access fornormalization to streamline and reduce the drudgery involved in the process. The learning was significantly betterwith this approach than the approach in which these concepts were taught in isolation.
