Teaching/Learning This course explores the core AI concepts. It provides a
Methodology comprehensive introduction to the problems and techniques of
artificial intelligence. Theory and practice are both emphasized. To
enhance the understanding of how conceptions and ideas in AI are
actually implemented, prolog and expert system shells will be used
for programming exercises and projects. Lectures will be
supplemented with video sessions to enhance student's learning. A
fair portion of guided reading will also be provided.

39 hours of class activities including - lecture, tutorial, lab,


workshop seminar where applicable.
