Normalization Template

You can download the normalization template as a zip file.

Your lab is to be submitted as a Markdown (*.md) file using the following legend. The recommended text editor for these files is Visual Studio Code, as this editor allows you to preview your markdown document as HTML. ERDs can be created using Lucidchart and exported as *.png files. Check with your instructor about getting a free Lucidchart account to use during this course.
