This is the last quiz for the 480-F10 class. It is optional, and intended as a make-up opportunity in case you performed less than optimal during one of the earlier ones. The quiz will be available until Tue, Dec. 7, 7:00 pm, and has a time limit of one hour. As with the other quizzes, you may consult the textbook, lecture notes or other relevant material, but not other students or human agents. The use of computer-based agents for help with the answers is only permitted if you developed those agents yourself.

480 Grading Update - AI Nuggets, Quizzes, Project
22/11/10 23:05 Filed in: 480
I’ve done more grading of the AI Nugget presentations, and I believe the scores should be up to date now. Of course there are still a few presentations to be done ...
There are still some issues with quizzes that I need do look into; they are in my queue.
The project scores are up to date until Week 6 for most teams, and I’ll look at the Week 8 documents on Wednesday.

This week’s quiz will be available as usual during the first hour of the lab section. The topic is predicate logic.
Final Exam/Quiz
15/11/10 21:47 Filed in: 480
As I indicated at the beginning of the quarter, we’re doing weekly quizzes instead of midterm and final exams. Since there should be some final exam activity during finals week, we’ll do a final quiz, which you can use to replace the score on another quiz you may have missed or not done so well in. So in total, there will be eleven quizzes, and only the ten highest scores will be counted. This quiz will be cumulative, covering all the topics discussed throughout the quarter.
Quiz Week 8
10/11/10 11:09 Filed in: 480
Due to the holiday on Thursday, Nov. 11, the quiz is available today, and will remain open over the weekend, until the end of day Sunday. One restriction that remains is the one hour limit. The topic is Reasoning and Logic (including propositional logic, but not predicate logic).

Quiz 6, but no Lecture on Thu, Nov. 28
25/10/10 16:28 Filed in: 480
I’ll be out of town on Thursday, so there will be no lecture. I recommend that you use the lab time for team meetings, and work on the labs and assignments. There will be a quiz this week, on the topic “Local Search and Constraint Satisfaction.” Instead of making it available during a fixed time as usual, I may make it available all day, but with a 1 hour time limit.

Quiz Week 2 Makeup Opportunity
01/10/10 12:44 Filed in: 480
One problem I had with the quiz is to find good questions for the introductory chapter. They shouldn't be trivial where it only takes a Google search to find the answer, they need to be related to AI, and they should not assume too much knowledge about AI since this is the very beginning of the class.
If you're unhappy about your score, you can increase it buy submitting alternative questions for the quiz, together with proposed answers. Here are the guidelines for these questions:
- each question adds up to five points to your exam score; if I need to revise the question or answers, you may get fewer points
- you can submit several questions, but your overall quiz score won't be higher than 100 points
- please formulate the questions as plain text format according to the template 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. I've tried free-form text answers as well, but grading those in Blackboard is really tedious - far worse than the paper equivalent.
Question Template:
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 two columns in square brackets indicate the amount of (partial) credit, and feedback to the student for the selected answer.

Quiz Week 2 Results
01/10/10 12:41 Filed in: 480
I just checked the results of the Week 2 quiz; see also the data from Blackboard below. With an average of 80, and most students' scores in the 70-90 range, the outcome is well within what I expected. I'm aware that the questions about relative performance of humans vs. computers for certain tasks are somewhat problematic, and may stop using them. I'll check the answers of all the students for the questionable questions, and will adjust some scores accordingly.
