  • Exercises 9,9 and 9.10 (uses 9.9) in Russell and Norvig. This prep is a little different. Do it in a team. The team is welcome to submit a group answer if they like, however, I would like each team member to keep their own notes, thoughts, vocab, etc., as they go and to turn in a summary paragraph of reflections with the assignment.
• For Wednesday, November 19th -> PrepLab3AI
  • Exercise 9.18 in Russell and Norvig (builds on 9.9 and 9.10). Do this prep the same way as the previous one (9.9 and 9.10.) The teams do not have to be the same.
