C463 Pre-self Evaluation

The following questions cover many of the major goals of this course. A similar set of questions will be asked at the end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course in meeting those goals. The CSCI department uses the following scale as a measure of knowledge:

• Mastery means you are able to exhibit knowledge of the material and/or skill with the procedure, in a new but appropriate context, even without guidance.

• Familiarity means you are able to answer questions about the material and/or to use the procedure, in a new but appropriate context, with guidance.

• Exposure means you have heard the term and/or seen the procedure, but may not be able to discuss or use it effectively without further instruction.

Please answer the following using A=Mastery, B=Familiarity, C=Exposure, D=Don't know.

1. Any application of artificial intelligence.

2. Any application of intelligent agents.

3. Program implementation using list, tuple or dictionary data structure.

4. Program implementation representing a tree or graph.

5. Depth or breadth-first search.

6. Propositional and predicate logic.

7. Resolution technique for theorem proving.

8. Use of heuristics in problem solving.

9. Probabilistic reasoning.

10. Genetic algorithms or other advanced search methods.
