E03: Play with the RadGrad data model

Before starting this experience, be sure to go through all the readings and screencasts for this module in order to become familiar with the RadGrad data model.

Task

To test your understanding of the RadGrad data model, create a new repository in your own account called “radgrad-data-model-experiment”, and clone it to your laptop.

Next, set the radgrad-data-model-example as the upstream master, and merge the application into your repo:

% git remote add template https://github.com/radgrad/data-model-example.git
% git fetch template
% git merge -m "merge template into master" template/master

Now your local radgrad-data-model-experiment repo should contain a copy of the data-model-example application. Run it locally to make sure everything is working OK.

To test your understanding of the basics of the RadGrad data model:

• Define four additional courses of your choice from the ICS curriculum.
• Define one new degree goal, “Network Engineer”, and another one of your own choosing.
• Define one new opportunity, “IEEE Student Branch”, and another one of your own choosing.
• Define four new Tags of your own choosing. They should be useful and relevant to computer science students.
• Define two new students. Each student should have at least four course instances, and four opportunity instances. Make sure all of your new additions are incorporated into the student profile definitions.

Make sure the description fields are always informative. Google for information as necessary.

When you are done, make sure your system runs. Replace the README.md file for your repo with one that documents what objects you added and a screen shot of the Users table illustrating how they were employed.
