Advanced Artificial Intelligence with Python

Units of Study

Knowledge

Learning Targets:

  • I can apply the principles of propositional logic.

Uncertainty

Learning Targets:

  • I can calculate the probabilities of drawing playing cards and flipping coins.

Optimization

Learning Targets:

  • I can answer questions about local search algorithms and solve linear programming and constraint-satisfaction problems.

Learning

Learning Targets:

  • I can compare and contrast different types of machine learning and machine learning algorithms.

Neural Networks

Learning Targets:

  • I can compare and contrast different algorithms used in neural networks and evaluate the results of applying them to specific problems.

Language

Learning Targets:

  • I can compare and contrast how an AI processes natural language and apply them to example problems.

Grade Calculation

Your grade for each unit will be based on your work during the unit and your challenge problem submission. NOTE that your unit grade will never be higher than your challenge grade, but it might be lower.

Your Base Grade will be calculated as follows:

  • Everyone starts with a lowest grade possible of FORTY-SIX (46).
  • You will earn SIX (6) POINTS for each of your TOP FIVE units on which you earned either M or E. A maximum Adjusted Base Grade of SEVENTY-SIX (76) is possible at this point.
  • Your quiz points - ZERO (0) - TWELVE (12) points possible - will be added to your grade. A maximum Adjusted Base Grade of EIGHTY-EIGHT (88) is possible at this point.
  • IF you earned at least ONE E on a unit, you will earn FOUR (4) addtional points. A maximum Adjusted Base Grade of NINETY-TWO (92) is possible at this point.

Your Adjusted Base Grade will be calculated by adjusting your Base Grade based on the following factors:

  • You will have earned ZERO (0) - SEVEN (7) engagement points for each unit.
  • The AVERAGE of the TOP FIVE of these grades will be added to your Base Grade
  • IF you have earned a NINETY-NINE (99) AND turned in nothing but pefect work for the entire semester, your Adjusted Base Grade will be bumped to a ONE-HUNDRED (100)

Your Final Grade in this course will be calculated as follows:

  • Final Exam (OR project): 20%
  • Adjusted Base Grade: 80%
