Overall: Disliked

heavy workload and I learned nothing useful beyond manipulating two-dimensional grids. The final project has nothing to do with the course content. It’s overly time-consuming, filled with hidden test cases based solely on hard-coded examples. Weekly assignments and write-ups made the workload heavier than most other ML and AI courses like Reinforcement Learning, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning. Overall, this course is just busywork and offers nothing beyond outdated 1980s-era rule-based AI knowledge.
