CECS 375 Fall 2003 Course Schedule

Artificial Intelligence I

 

This is the revised schedule as of Sept.10, 2003.   I will expect you to at least look over the textbook sections before coming to class.  Homework assignments will be added as the semester proceeds. You can expect 4-5 major assignments, mostly (but not necessarily all) programming assignments.
