Revised A1 Description: PolyLearn instead of Blackboard
17/10/12 15:00 Filed in: 480
The assignment description still contained a few references to Blackboard, which I’ve replaced with those for PolyLearn. In particular, I’ve changed the part for obtaining the environment.

The emphasis in this assignment lies on the search methods, and not on the programming of the environment. You will use the Bot Environment, a slightly revised version of the environment for this assignment that was also used in previous lab exercises. Alternatively, you can also use the WumpusEnvironment, which will be used again in the second assignment. Both of them are available from PolyLearn under “2 - Intelligent Agents.”

Quiz Makeup Opportunity
16/10/12 11:59 Filed in: 480
If you want to improve your score in a quiz, you can submit alternative questions for the quiz, together with proposed answers.
Here are the guidelines for these questions:
- you need to indicate for which quiz (by week or by topic) the questions are intended
- each question adds up to five points to your quiz score; if I need to revise the question or answers, you may get fewer points
- you can submit several questions, but your overall score for that particular quiz won't be higher than 100 points
- please formulate the questions as plain text format according to one of the three templates below. Multiple-choice are my preferred option, but multiple-answers (where more than one answer is correct), fill-in-the-blank, calculated answers, and several others are also available.
Sample Question Name
This is a template for a multiple choice question. Which of the following options is the correct or most suitable answer?
[ ] Answer 1 [10%] [Why is it incorrect?]
[ ] Answer 2 [30%] [Why is it incorrect?]
[X] Answer 3 [100%] [Why is it correct?]
[ ] Answer 4 [0%] [Why is it incorrect?]
The first line is the question name (a short phrase that is used as identifier for the questions), followed by the actual question.
The next lines contain possible answers, the correct one marked by an X.
The two columns in square brackets indicate the amount of (partial) credit, and feedback to the student for the selected answer.
MC Question name Question text *Correct answer Other answer Other answer Other answer
MC indicates the question type (Multiple Choice in this case), and the correct answer has a * in front. The whole question must be in a single line, and individual parts of the question are separated by TAB characters (which aren’t presented well in some browsers).
To create questions in this format, it may be easiest to use a spreadsheet with a new row for each question, and columns for each question part.
Follow the link to a Web form for this. You’ll have to submit each question separately since the Web form doesn’t do loops.
