Frequently Asked Questions

Introduction

This page covers some of the frequently asked questions I receive about G5BAIM - Artificial Intelligence Methods course and WebCT.

Contents

What is WebCT?

WebCT is a tool that gives greater flexibility in a learning environment. In its simplest form it allows a set of web pages to be managed (and gives the same benefits as a normal web site). However, it also supports other learning aids. The two you might find most useful are

The self-assessment exercises. I have set up a number of self assessment exercises that allow you to judge how well you understand the material. The exercises (which do not form part of the formal assessment) presents you with a variety of questions including multiple choice, single word answers and questiosn where you have to calculate an answer.
At the end of the assessment you are given a score and also receive feedback as to how well you have done. Using these quizzes allows you to judge how well you know the material.

 

How do I logon to WebCT?

In order to take this course I have to register you with WebCT. To do this, you need to send an EMAIL to me. If you click here you will be taken to your EMAIL editor. In the subject line simply put the following (by replacing the question marks I have included).

G5BAIM:your-name:cs-user-name:UoN-username

where
      your-name is your name (as you would like it to appear in WebCT)
      cs-user-name is the username you have been given by the computer science department
      UoN-user-name is the username given to you by Cripps.

For example, "G5BAIM:Graham Kendall:gxk01c:pszgxk"

Important Notes

Just to emphasise, the password you need for WebCT is your default ACS password. If you have changed this password, or have forgotten it, then you will have to "re-register" yourself.

How is the course Assessed?

This course is examined by a two hour examination, which accounts for 75% of the marks. The remainder of the marks (25%) are given for a piece of coursework.
