+**Question 9**: Can we use lectures from our
 previous courses like EECS 2030 to help us explain the function of some OOP
 methods and if so should we source them?

+**Answer to Question 9**: You cannot reference lectures from
 previous courses like EECS 2030, because such information is not publicly available. However, you can reference a textbook that is used by a previous course.

 //**"Imagine that a software company wants to know as much as possible about the possible advantages and disadvantages of using various object-oriented approaches in the design and implementation of software, and that company has assigned you the task of writing a report to identify and explain the possible advantages and disadvantages of using various object-oriented approaches in the design and implementation of software in your report which will be read and used by managers and technical staff of that company to make decisions on whether to adopt various object-oriented approaches in the design and implementation of that company’s software."**//
+**Question 11**: What would be a good way to practice using the algorithms and data structures in the course?
+**Answer to Question 11:**
+A good way to practice using the algorithms and data structures in the course, would be for each particular algorithm and data structure, including each particular method/code, in the course textbook “Data Structures and Algorithms in Java”, M.T. Goodrich, R. Tamassia, M.H. Goldwasser, Wiley, 2014, 6th Edition, create a good variety of different concrete example data for each particular data structure, then perform each step of the algorithm/method/code on each particular data structure using each of the variety of different concrete example data step-by-step.
+**Question 12**: The question states that we are to "Imagine a software company wants to ...", are we supposed to come up with a company idea/name on our own, also can it be an already existing company or is this just a completely hypothetical company?
+**Answer to Question 12**: You do not need to come up with a company name on your own. However you can imagine that it is some software company that already exists.
+**Question 13**: The assignment requires that we write a report on the various object-oriented approaches in the design and implementation of that company's software, so does that mean we should describe various approaches to designing a software for one task/program within that company or is it just describing different object-oriented approaches to different tasks/programs within that country?
+**Answer to Question 13**: The Assignment 1 description never said that you should "... describe various approaches to designing a software for ..." ONLY ONE "... task/program within that company".
