Information on Quiz #1 on the Overview

• The quiz will be closed book, closed notes.
• The Overview notes have the material in AIMA you are to read.
• The Overview sample questions, one per chapter, are an excellent guide to the type of questions you will need to be able to answer. There will be around five questions on the quiz. Some will be chosen from the samples, so it behooves you to study those.
• "Studying" for the quiz should consist in large part of writing out answers to each of the 27 suggested questions, with the book closed.

Information on the Midterm Exam

• The topics to be covered are search and logic.
• The exam will consist of questions similar to the ones on your first two assignments, but not as difficult as the more difficult one on those assignments.
• More specific information will be added here as the Midterm approaches..
• The Midterm will be a hybrid one. The first half of the exam will be closed book. After you hand in your answers to the first part, the remainder of the exam will be open book. This is a strategy to evaluate your performance under both conditions.

Quiz #2 - CANCELLED

Information on the Final Exam

• This will be the standard type of take-home exam.
• It will be a comprehensive exam, covering the entire course.
• I will do mailings to quickly handle any questions that arise about the exam. I will mail individuals or the entire class, whichever is appropriate.

A comprehensive take-home final exam will be emailed to you as an attachment on Tuesday, April 17th and due sent to me by email by 11:59pm, Tuesday, the 24th. (if you need to hand in any hardcopy portions, get them to me in my office by 4pm, the 24th, or fax them to me by then to 617-373-5121, the CCIS office). You must meet these deadlines, because I will be en route to/from or in Illinois from Wednesday through Sunday evening, the 25th through the 29th, to attend and present at a linguistics conference.
