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

Midterm: Friday, May 3 (2:30 PM to 3:20 PM). The midterm will consist of a number of short-answer questions. It will be closed-book. 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: Tuesday, June 11 (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: 2015 "sample" final. 2015 "sample" final solutions; 2015 actual final exam. 2015 actual final's solutions. While the sample exams are intended to be useful in studying for this year's exam, there is NO GUARANTEE that this year's exam will be very similar, either in style, content, or length. (For example, we will not have any Python questions on this year's final.)
