ACIT4610 Evolutionary artificial intelligence and robotics Course description

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• Two mandatory mid-term group reports on the given portfolio/project (1000-1500 words)
• One mandatory mid-term group oral presentation on the given portfolio/projects (20 minutes; 15 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of questions and answers. All group members must be present at the group presentation and participate in questions and answers.)

The assessment will be based on the following:

• A group project delivery (2-4 students), consisting of a report (7500-3000 words) and code
• An individual oral examination (20 minutes)

The weight of the two parts is 50% each. The oral exam (individual) cannot be appealed.

Both parts must be separately passed in order to pass the course.

The project report should be between 7500-3000 words. Both the code/program and the report will be evaluated. The comprehensiveness of the code/program is evaluated with the assumption that each student in the group has committed about 60 hours towards developing the solution. As a general guideline, the code/program carries a stronger weight than the report.

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

All aids are permitted, provided the rules for plagiarism and source referencing are complied with.

For the oral exam, students will not have access to computers or other aids.

Students will be working together in groups of up to 5 students on a complex problem that requires innovation. The final exam is an individual submission based on group work activities.

The course will include a variety of online and in-person workshops and fieldwork, which may include short presentations, discussion, product development, games, data collection, simulations, and other forms of group collaboration.

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.

Individual written report of between 2500 and 3000 words based on the group activities and deliverables completed throughout the course.

The exam can be appealed.
