Course given 2007/2008 in study period 1
I liked that the final examination was a project that was then evaluated in form of a competition. I think that is a very good motivation.
---
Minesweeper and the handwriting recognition. Good course book.
---
The teachers were available when some questions needed to be asked. Help hours were relevant.
---
I liked this course. We have AI courses on my home university as well, but I am sure that they are boring compare to this one.
---
The minewsweep competition was a great idea.
---
The minesweeper project was really funny and interesting!
---
The project was funny, the work in groups is always interesting...
---
The peek into many areas of AI.
---
The content.
Remove part A of the homeworks. Maybe homework sets 1 and 2 could be merged and include some slightly larger task similar to the handwriting system. I know the course isn't supposed to go very deep into the many topics it deals with, but it's no fun if it's too shallow either. It's possible the course could benefit from having a few more things excluded (e.g. basic logic, since that's a mandatory course for D students anyway).
---
The homework needs to be changed. Especially, the last homework, which was the hardest, should not be due at the same time as the project.
---
The statistics and HMM were quite hard compared to the other parts.
---
The last homework was a bit tedious, the last part of it should have more weight on it.
---
Don't move the deadlines. Set a deadline and then enforce it.
It would be nice to have projects other than minesweeper to choose from.
