Introduction to Artificial intelligence.. the AI-Class.
i alwasy used to say... Being smart or being logicial is in no way different to being lazy. logical thinking is lazy thinking.. :D. all you need is to hit the right cords...and that's it.. problem solved. and so i felt that there was his sense of aptitude for diving into artificial intelligence.. :) (there by making people more lazy..)
Ironically this was the first class announced on the to be called MOOC platform, sadly many people couldn't make it and dropped.. party because of the wide range of audience 100,000+ :P. It looked like the course wasn't intersting at the start and that made people uncomfortable with basic dicrete math, probability and logical thinking. we were given a crash tutorials with these pre requisites. :) though. I was happy because i was one among those lucky who completed the course..
the only thing that differed between this online and the real stanford class was that we were not given any priogramming assignments to work on... although there was an end programming contest that was inked to other sites. It was optional.. and logically i wasn't that proponsed towards doing it.. watched some code snippets though.. python looked interesting. :).
the class also offered a free membership to AAAI for those who complete the class in top 10 percentile..though i was not in in the top 10. i did manage to get among the top 25 herd. :)
I even volunteered for working on subtitles for the videos..:) mixed reactions about this though.. :(
Overall my first experience with open courses. A rare chance to learn from the real masters -- Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig. Although, there were not much coding , the class was enjoyable and intellectually challenging.
a more comprehensieve review on the first ever online classes from the ivyleague universities..:) from a student of stanford university goes here.
