+====== August 6, 2016 ======
+The solutions (BON+explanations) for A3 are posted now (check the assignment website).
+On Monday, we will discuss those questions and solutions in class. Please, join us for review before final test. I will be in the class starting 5pm (TTC permitting) to answer you questions about A3 grades.
+Also, on Monday, we will have a course evaluation. You'll have a chance to express your opinion about this course.
+====== August 1, 2016 ======
+The Assignment 3 grades are posted.
+Check also your feedback using websubmit.
+====== Final Exam Set ======
+  * August 12, 14:00, LAS B, 180 min.
+  * Exam will be closed book written with the format similar to mid-term
+  * New thing will be a design question similar to those you had in Assignment 3
+===== July 20, 2016 =====
+==== A3 NOTES and EXPLANATIONS ====
+  * There is a small error in the spec that is causing lots of confusion. To make it easier, please modify the speeding formula. It says now  (3 * gas - 50).
+  * Please change it to  (3 * gas_max - 50) where gas_max is a maximum of gas that the car can carry. Let's assume that gas_max is always > 15.
+  * It is your design decision. Whatever you choose, you have to handle errors.
+  * BON without explanation is 1/3 of the mark (no code is required for design questions from part 2)
+  * Do not include any code of Cars in your report. Eiffel implementation has to be submitted for Cars, so it is redundant!
+===== July 11, 2016 =====
+Some of you asked about random number generators in Eiffel. Please see the following code for the example:
+     local
+          l_time: TIME
+          l_seed: INTEGER
+     do
+     -- This computes milliseconds since midnight.
+     -- Milliseconds since 1970 would be even better.
+     create l_time.make_now
+     l_seed := l_time.hour
+     l_seed := l_seed * 60 + l_time.minute
+     l_seed := l_seed * 60 + l_time.second
+     l_seed := l_seed * 1000 + l_time.milli_second
+     create random_sequence.set_seed (l_seed)
+     -- Now you can use the random_sequence and it will be different each time
+     end
+To be able to use this example you have to add a ''time'' library to your project. To do that, right-click on the libraries module and select "Add..." option. Find time library (use filter). Compile. You should see TIME now.
+===== July 6, 2016 =====
+Assignment 3 posted. Due date July 23.
