Example of Decision Tables

The document describes the course catalog requirements for CIS 288 at the Claremont School. To enroll, a student must complete two prerequisites - CIS 110 and CIS 286. However, a student can enroll if they complete one prerequisite and obtain an instructor's waiver. The document then asks students to create a decision table showing all possible rules for eligibility. It provides an initial version of the table with 8 rules considering the prerequisites and waivers. Students are asked to simplify the table, which results in a 6 rule table. Finally, students are asked to draw a decision tree representing the catalog requirements.

3 Claremont School

Situation: The Claremont School course catalog reads as follows: “To enroll in CIS 288, which is an advanced
course, a student must complete two prerequisites — CIS 110 and CIS 286. A student who completes either one
of these prerequisites and obtains the instructor’s permission, however, will be allowed to take CIS 288.”

1. Create a decision table that describes the Claremont School course catalog regarding eligibility for CIS
288. Show all possible rules.
Remind students to follow the four steps outlined next to Figure 4-38 on page 177. The initial version of the
decision table, which contains all possible rules, should look something like the following:

RULES 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
CIS 110 Y Y Y Y N N N N
CIS 286 Y Y N N Y Y N N
WAIVER Y N Y N Y N Y N
ELIGIBLE X X X X
INELIGIBLE X X X X

2. Simplify the table you just created. Describe the results.


After simplification:

RULES 1 2 3 4 5 6
CIS 110 Y N N Y Y N
CIS 286 Y Y Y N N N
WAIVER - Y N Y N -
ELIGIBLE X X X
INELIGIBLE X X X
