data repository: csv or json file to represent student info

[samaniehsan]

we have to decide if this file simply contains student bio info (FirstName, LatstName, email, Date of Birth, SSN).
and then separate out the notion of assigned degrees plans (majors)?

again i am not sure if need multiple files or just one.

it seems like to me that from realistic point of view. 30,000 students data is not the best idea to be in a single file.

Since this is just a mockup of a real system, would it matter if a single file could work with 30,000 students?

@vjara98 i was only referring to their bio info.

We are not gone real modify the student's bio info( in other words their dob or last name or firstname or ssn is not gone be modiffied by our systems.)
so we will be basically reading this file alot. dont think we will modify it.

but i think the student's degree plan and grades should be in a different file.
