Help needed on Boyce-Codd Normal Form.

Suppose I want to create a schema for

	S = student,
	J = subject,
	T = teacher,

that enforces
  1. For each subject, each student taking that subject is taught by exactly one teacher. But a student can take multiple subjects.
  2. Each teacher teaches exactly one subject. But a subject can be taught by multiple teachers.

How do you create a schema that is at least BCNF and enforces 1) and 2)?

Thank you.
