| Prerequisites: |
CS 201, CS 202, Basic linear algebra, geometry, and calculus - CS 216 suggested
In previous years, the only prereq was CS 201 and CS 202. I'm strongly suggesting that students have completed CS 216 as well because programming is required for this course. Data structures (pointers, lists, and memory allocation) will be used extensively.
|
| Textbooks: |
Artificial Intelligence, A Modern Approach, Russell and Norvig (2nd Edition) |
| Assignments: |
There will be three or four programming assignments in this course. All assignments must be written in C or C++. The program source code will be read. Source code documentation and organization should make your programs easy to read and convey your understanding of the implemented functions. Poor documentation and programming style will result in a lower score. More detailed instructions regarding required documentation will be provided with each assignment. |
| Homeworks: |
Three (perhaps four) programming assignments and a couple written assignments
|
| Tests: |
One midterm and one final
|
| Grading: |
Programs (40%) + Tests (25% and 25%) + Homework (10%)

| Late Days: |
Students have five late days that they can use in any way during the semester. Each late day extends the due date 24 hours. Use your late days wisely; you will not be granted additional late days without a written note from the Dean's office. |
| Honor Code: |
The honor code applies to all work turned in for this course. In particular, all code and documentation should be entirely your own work. You may consult with other students about high-level design strategies related to programming assignments, but you many not copy code or use the structure or organization of another students program. Said another way, you may talk with one another about your programs, but you cannot ever look at another student's code nor let another student look at your own code. Each assignment will include a specific Honor Code Guideline referring to the use of online materials. |
| Lectures: |
The following topics will be presented during the semesters lectures. This is only a rough outline of the schedule and entire topics may be added or removed. The class web page will document the lecture schedule and provide access to the slides used for each lecture. Consult it often. |
