CSE 415: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence The University of Washington, Seattle, Autumn 2019

Midterm: Monday, October 28 (1:30 PM to 2:20 PM). The midterm will consist of a number of short-answer questions. It will be closed-book. The questions in Assignment 4 are somewhat longer than those likely to be on the exam. However, there will be approximately five questions on the exam, rather than three on A4. For a list of topics, see the Midterm topics list. For a sample midterm, see this example. Solutions are available. Note that the sets of topics covered by the sample midterms typically differ somewhat from the set of topics covered in another quarter's midterm. Thus the sample midterms may be most helpful in helping to set expectations for factors such as test style rather than precise coverage of topics. However, the style may also change. (Thus you should not let yourself be tempted to overfit to the sample tests as you study.)

Final: Monday, December 9 (2:30 PM to 4:20 PM). Similar in format to the midterm, the final will also be closed-book. For a list of topics, see the Final Exam topics list. For purposes of studying, here are a sample final, the actual final and their solutions from a recent year: Winter 2019 "sample" final; solutions. While the sample exams are intended to be useful in studying for this quarter's exam, there is NO GUARANTEE that this quarter's exam will be very similar, either in style, content, or length.
