This was sent last night (9:10pm, to the email address that you used to register for the class), but apparently some students didn't receive it. 
Subject: cse307 important announcements

Assignment 3:

In class today, I gave an extension for it to Wednesday midnight as
requested by some students (minority but more than very few).

However, while I am updating the due date now, I think it is not
helpful to have it due the midnight before the midterm morning.

So I will give an extension to Friday 5pm. I will update handout A3.
Hope you have more time to do it well, and you can enjoy your weekend!


Midterm preparation handout:

I posted solutions to question 7(c) as promised.

I also posted solutions for the last few problems that we didn't have
time to go through in detail, not as promised. :-)

(for the few of you who missed all: you need to make up with your
friends in the class; the handout was given last Thursday and today,
and the plan was discussed in a few classes before.)


Email questions:

As said in class today, you are required to follow the instructions of
the Q & A group (http://sites.google.com/site/sbcsppl/q-a).  Added
there today: "Questions violating these should not expect answers.
Questions due to missing classes, unless justified with proofs of
course, should not expect answers either."

I have answered every single email sent to me till then, many more
than sent to the group, often for questions due to missed classes (our
TA Rik has also answered such questions); that's a few hours per day
in the last few days (and has prevented me from having made the
midterm)...  We ought to spend more time on course work that benefits
those students who follow the course requirements!
