Description of Tasks:

JD Hub is a national retail company specialising in selling electronics products. The CEO of JD Hub
wants to increase their sales on Boxing Day. This year (2023), he plans to give more discounts to the
electronics products that were the most sold on Boxing Days in recent years. He would like to try
NSW shops as a trial for this year, before rolling out to all states in future.

The CEO asks you to find out the top 9 electronics products that are the best sold in quantity on
Boxing Days over the past five years in NSW.

• Provide a star schema to show your physical design (5 Marks). Explain what your facts,
measures, and dimensions are, and how they are linked with each other (10 Marks).
• Produce a query that can be executed on your star schema and addresses the CEO’s
requirement (5 Marks). Provide explanations to your query regarding its logic (10 Marks).
EXPECTED STANDARD OF THE WORK
This is a postgraduate subject and a postgraduate standard of research, resourcefulness, originality
and clarity is expected. You are expected to conceptualize the problem or issue, find relevant
references for context, facts, theory and examples, come up with a point of view (not necessarily
one-sided) and support that point of view with argument and references. In some cases, the ``point
of view'' will be a design proposal. Your presentations should be written as if they are addressing an
audience, not attempting to satisfy course requirements.

The unacknowledged use of the words or ideas of others in your work is known as plagiarism and is
totally unacceptable to the University. Rumors of the practice of plagiarism damage the reputation
of your degree and cause resentment among students who see that some people are gaining marks
unfairly. In the long run, if you do not do your own work, you will not learn what you need to know
for your profession and this will become apparent to your employers and damage your own career.
If you are detected practicing plagiarism you will be reported to the Responsible Academic Officer
(RAO) and may be liable to sanctions such as failure in the subject. The best way to avoid any
temptation to plagiarism (and to do high standard work) is to develop a feeling of ownership for your
work, to think ``this is what I believe and I will justify it''.

Assessment and class activities in this subject may be done in small groups. The contribution of each
individual in a group will be monitored throughout the semester. Should the need arise, the mark
allocated for individuals within groups can reflect an agreed level of contribution by members of the
group. Peer assessment will be used to distribute marks within each group. The group weighs its mark
for their member’s contribution for each of the assessment components. Maximum group size is 4
per group.

Unless legitimate and documented reasons are presented, one mark will be deducted from the
group result for each day that the written report submission is delayed by.

Students must achieve a total score of 50% or higher to pass the subject. There are no compulsory
assessment components to this subject.

Under the University's rules, no supplementary assessment will be given in this subject. If you are
unable to attend sufficient meetings or participate satisfactorily in the development project you
should consult with the subject coordinator.
