Not really in a flat panic, just basically given up on passing this one. Like you said the uncertainty, would have been nice to get a old exam paper or at the very least an example paper. Guess we will find out on the day...by DerekdeClercq - COS452H
I have started but are down to studying 18 and 19. The stats stuff is a complete mystery to me. I did formal logic today so at least that bit I know, but same with the math stuff. Also not sure what to do on the swarm bit, know what I think is the overview of it, but would have been nice to actually get a model answer of what we need to know.by DerekdeClercq - COS452H
Managed to get my marks posted at least both assignment 1 and 2 on the same day, but had to send a mail to the HOD which is not the best plan as it obviously wont make you too popularby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
Im also mainly using the internet. Has anybody got an idea of how short a short report should be? I am a bit lost with how much or little detail to put in thisby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
Has anybody had any luck with this question. I think I just might have a metal block against it. Logically it seems to me that if k is in the innermost loop it will fail when another vertex is needed for the shorted path and because we have already finalized the for all the length paths for i,j we dont go back there to update it. We are basically computing it for each one and moving on, but Iby DerekdeClercq - COS408D
So seeing as it is going on to 3 months now, anybody get results for assignment 1 yet?by DerekdeClercq - COS452H
Those courses look great, I am thinking of going through them for all my subjectsby DerekdeClercq - COS408D
There was a note about the lecturer being away in June. However I still think it is mad to have to wait 2 months to get your assignments marked. At UP some departments have a rule that it is not allowed to take longer than 2 weeks, and those lecturers do classes as well. Personally I just feel that it is the only real feedback we get as to how we are progressing and if we need to hand in assiby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
From the first couple of chapters it actually doesn't seem to bad. I think it might be a problem of jumping into the text book towards the end instead of working though it systematically. I do however still think this is not the ideal book for a correspondace degree as in my opinion they don't do a very good job of explaining the work. I found the explanations on neural networks on theby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
This subject and COS451 was the only reasons I decided to do honors because I am fascinated by AI. I spend a lot of time on the answers from chapter 20 too so my hopes are on the model answers. I think my biggest problem is that the changed the syllabus on COS351 since I did it and now this builds on stuff I have never done. I am not to sure what we need to do to get into the exam, it only says yby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
I am just about to give up on this subject. We have to do all 3 assignments and I am battling with the questions from chapter 21 and I very much doubt my answers for chapter 20 is any good.My approach for 18 was to show the basic structure and leave it at that, hopefully get at least some points. Wish I at least had the results from assignment 1 so I know if I should even bother completing this aby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
Same here, 100% after 58%. That is the nice thing about stuff you can actually run and see if they workby DerekdeClercq - COS451G
Ok, sounds like my problem is having done COS351 3 years ago. Different text book and so on. Does anybody have the chapters that was prescribed for the previous year. Better start reading thereby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
I have had this problem with more than one subject. COS407 seem to be without a lecturer too so I guess we are on our own. Seriously considering asking for my money back, dont know what we pay forby DerekdeClercq - COS419G
I only got 58% too. Will have to wait for the marked one to see what happened, didnt think I did that badly as I spend quite a bit of time on itby DerekdeClercq - COS408D
Thanks for the input guys, guess it is just me. When they you say read earlier chapters, do you mean earlier ones from this years syllabus or earlier as in earlier in the book. I found that with assignment 2, for instance the neural net stuff, there was not a single example on how to calculate these things, yet we have to do it for the assignment. I have spend tons of time researching stufby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
Anybody else out there feel the textbook is completely useless. I am trying to do assignment 2 and find that the textbook doesnt even bother explaining anything. Might as well not have it as far as I am concernedby DerekdeClercq - COS452H
