Assessment Strategy
The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate subject-specific knowledge and how this knowledge can be applied in the design of AI solutions to real world problems.
Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:
Prolog/NN Assignment coursework (25%) (address learning outcomes 1-4)
Invigilated Examination (2Hrs) (75%) (address learning outcomes 1-3)
Formative assessment and feedback
is provided via feedback gained from the problem classes which take place during scheduled lecture sessions, which can be used to prepare for the summative assessment.
Module aims
- Deliver knowledge on the basic ideas and concepts that underlie the development of artificially intelligent machine systems.
Learning outcomes
| Attributes Developed | ||
| 1 | Demonstrate knowledge of the set of methods which would be needed to develop an intelligent system. | K |
| 2 | Demonstrate an appreciation of the advantages and limitations of these different methods. | KC |
| 3 | Demonstrate ability to apply these methods, and so propose suitable solutions to different problem domains in which an intelligent system can provide useful functionality to aide human activity in solving ‘real world' problems. | KCT |
| 4 | Demonstrate ability to implement Prolog programs to solve some of these tasks | KCPT |
Attributes Developed
C - Cognitive/analytical
K - Subject knowledge
T - Transferable skills
P - Professional/Practical skills
Methods of Teaching / Learning
The learning and teaching strategy is designed to achieve the aforementioned learning outcomes.
Methods of learning and teaching include: Lectures, Coursework (programming assignment)
Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
