Q1.  Please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the module, and suggest possible improvements.
1.deadlines and penalties are a tad too strict
2.Interesting module. Especially the homeworks which make us think a lot of the problem and ways to solve them
3.While the content is not very difficult, it is hard to score, and this deters me from taking furthur courses in the field, as it will pull my CAP score down, even though the subject matter is interesting.
4.Interesting material however projects can be rather time consuming. Also some projects seem to give more weightage to programming ability as opposed to conceptual knowledge.
5.NA
6.n.a
7.The module is very effective in delivering a relatively large deal of knowledge in AI field, which will be really hard to pick up by on my own. The exercises designed for the course are also quite interesting but hard also.
8.very interesting modules. esp the projects which we apply what we have learnt and have a hands on experience on how they work too.
9.the main topics taught are main areas of AI and the algorithms , theories and concepts are quite interesting. they can be applied to daily lives.
10.The lecture material is difficult is hard to digest. The assignment is difficult.
11.A lot of resources provided to students in terms of helping them learn. Things like webcast and forums helps students a lot when they have doubts.
12.The module is essential and interesting. The textbook is very good.
