Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
These are sample Strategies, which teachers can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course
outcomes.
1. Lecturer method (L) need not to be only a traditional lecture method, but alternative
effective teaching methods could be adopted to attain the outcomes.
2. Use of Video/Animation to explain functioning of various concepts.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class.
4. Ask at least three HOT (Higher order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes
critical thinking.
5. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop
design thinking skills such as the ability to design, evaluate, generalize, and analyze
information rather than simply recall it.
6. Introduce Topics in manifold representations.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem with different logic and encourage the
students to come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
8. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it
helps improve the students' understanding.
Module-1
Introduction: What is AI? Foundations and History of AI
Teaching-Learning Process Chalk and board, Active Learning. Problem based learning
Module-2
Informed Search Strategies: Greedy best-first search, A*search, Heuristic functions.
Introduction to Machine Learning , Understanding Data
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks). A student shall be
deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/
course if the student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination
(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal
Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together
CIE methods /question paper has to be designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s
taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question
papers for the subject (duration 03 hours)
1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks. Marks scored
shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks.
2. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a
maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
