| Q1. | Please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the module, and suggest possible improvements. |
| 1. | The projects were very interesting |
| 2. | Good lecturer, very good structure. The only weaknesses would be some misinformation (attendance is compulsory, which it obviously wasnt) |
| 3. | It's a great module. The things taught are generally very useful to what I intend to do (robotics). The part on probability does seem rather out of place though. I think it's because there's not much time to go in depth. If more on how the concepts are used are taught, I think it would be more relevant to what we learnt in the previous lectures. But generally everything else taught is connected to each other. |
| 4. | Course conducted very well. |
| 5. | Weakness of the module is using the old notes and follow ONE textbook as syllabus. AI != search and logic |
| 6. | The syllabus has too many things... both the lecturers and students can't cope with such a workload |
| 7. | Interesting module, with interesting homework assignments to work on. More such assignments can be given. |
| 8. | Quite interesting and had good practical projects |
| 9. | Strengths - good range of assignment topics for us to explore. Weaknesses - level of expectation of the students is perhaps a little too high. Some of us are from the 3-Year tech Focus Stream who may not have as strong foundations as our peers from the Hons stream. Hence, sometimes we do feel overwhelmed and lost. Perhaps a better balance could be established in the following semesters that offer this module. It was, nevertheless, a good experience for learning. |
| 10. | I enjoyed the module. I think the lecturer and tutor make a pretty good team. Assignments were challenging and useful to learning. I like that it involves choice on the part of the students, and material outside of the lectures. |
| 11. | Very hard to relate the things learnt to lecture to the assignments. |
| 12. | NAs |
| 13. | none |
| 14. | The lecturer is very good. |
| 15. | An interesting course. Sufficient content covered to introduce us to the fundamentals of AI. |
| 16. | One of the best balanced modules I have taken (in terms of workload..etc) Interesting project concept and good lectures. |
| 17. | This module is very interesting. This module has given me valuable insights into the world of artificial intelligence. |
| 18. | projects are too time consuming |
| 19. | online course is very helpful. and the projects enable us to have a view of more advanced topics |
| 20. | Certain Concepts are too abstract. Concepts taught in the class should be reinforce with lab work |
| 21. | Very interesting and enjoyable. Good exposure to AI. |
| 22. | The assignments are too tough for a level 3 module. Take for example on HW2 NLP, this topic is a level 4 module and for cs3243, we are given it as HW (though we are given freedom to choose the topic) |
| 23. | The module teaches us some practical and relevant stuff. The projects are quite hard and time consuming. |
| 24. | slighly more time for assignment 2. |
| 25. | Too much algo to learn... |
| 26. | Comprehensive overview of the field, quite a interesting subject |
| 27. | The homework is unrelated to the course. |
| 28. | Interesting, but prob HW1 is too open ended already, esp since we have just started on the course. Would be better if HW1 is given towards the end? |
| 29. | The assignments, especially the first one, were quite tough. However, I think I managed to learn a lot through doing them |
| 30. | This is a very interesting module. |
| 31. | very basic |
| 32. | Nil |
| 33. | Strength: good and difficult projects Weakness: projects are not relevant to lectures |
| 34. | difficult comparing to the module in the previous sems |
| 35. | some abstract ideas are difficult to understand without concreat example |
| 36. | give more example for this module |
| 37. | The projects has not much relationship with this module |
| 38. | The most interesting module i have in this semester. |
| 39. | N.A |
| 40. | The projects are very interesting. From the project, i've learned a lot. The level of difficulty of these project is also a bit high. But I feel it's neccessary to have such projects. |
| 41. | Take a lot of time to do homework! |
| 42. | the timing for midterm and projects are quite good, however 2 projects for these... :( adding workload... |
| 43. | challenging. |
| 44. | No comment |
| 45. | nice |
| 46. | Very good lecturer! |
