I need a hand with a specific case for creating Data Warehouse schema for University. I've tried to create a [schema] https://i.stack.imgur.com/MAtZM.jpg but it looks like im going in wrong direction

Case:

University currently has 5 courses – Foundation, Business Computing, Business, Economics, and Law. It provides education on 5 levels. Each academic year consist of 2 semesters. We have a number of modules that belong to courses and some of them are core modules and some are optional. Some modules are semester long and some are a year-long. Each module has assessment components that have weights contributed to the overall mark on the module. Assessments are of different types like in-class test, coursework, final exam, etc. Students register on courses starting from Foundation. Students might change the course over time (e.g. transfer from Business to Business Computing). University would like to know about: • students registration on courses and modules and tracking changes to them over time. • academic progress and performance of students and faculty in different courses and modules including assessment components (coursework, in-class test, final exam, etc.).

If possible, please attach schema as a screenshot or whatever. Im newbie to Data Warehouse stuff, so i dont know much about it and have no expirience in creating them. I will be very grateful for any help that will somehow closer to solving the problem. Sorry for my english. Thank you, and have a nice day.

I am sure it would be hybrid snowflake as you have two fact tables here and will have other several dimension tables connected around",
