Outcomes and Evaluation

• The first two outcomes (the knowledge ones) are to understand an area of computer science (in this case AI); and to critically evaluate theoretical positions and concepts.
• There are four skills outcomes: one is about the dissertation.
• To perform analysis of qualitatitive and quantitative data is quite pertinent to the AI bit.
• Similarly, to analyse complex problems is relevant.
• Finally, we'll try to give you some pointers into the literature for AI reviews.
• The outcomes don't inform the module as much as I'd like.
  
  
• The evaluation is based on a Connect-4 coursework.
• Connect 4 is played on a 7x6 board. Players alternate dropping in pieces. If one makes four in a row (including diagonally), they win.
• For full credit, you'll have to make a two player game, make an agent that plays well, do some machine learning for an agent, and do some analysis.
• The best player (or players) will get extra points.
