Instructors of AI courses may get some benefit from this page. Some
of it is designed specifically for the book
Artificial
Intelligence: A Modern Approach and some of it does not depend on
the choice of textbook. Our aim is to provide resources for every
step of designing and running an AI course.

Talk with Other Instructors
-
aima-instructors
discussion group for instructors (and TAs) only. Click the link to apply for
membership. Please use your University email address, so that I can verify
you are an instructor and not a student. Then in a separate message to
peter@norvig.com send proof that you
are in fact an instructor (a web page at your University will do it).
Unfortunately, Yahoo Groups does not make this process easy, but I'm sure
you appreciate that we need to screen carefully to prevent students from
getting access to homework solutions, etc.
- aima-talk
discussion group for any readers of the book. You can look at the archives
here, and you can invite your students to use this as a resource.
Design a Syllabus
- Adoptions list of over 1000 schools that
are using AIMA, many with syllabi.
- If you are converting from a course that used the first edition of AIMA,
we have a chapter map saying where material
from the first edition moved.
- Computing Reviews topic list covered by the book.
- Intro AI at Berkeley; sample course with all materials online.
- We'll have other sample courses here later.
Develop Your Lectures
- Slides (projections) for use in class:
- Figures from the text; you can
incorporate these into Powerpoint or other
presentations.
- Terminology from the index of the book
may be of some help.
- Other sites on the Web with
supplemental material on AI, organized by part in the book.
- AI Education
material from Temple University,
Bryn Mawr,
and AAAI (my favorite).
Give Homeworks
- A Solution Manual
for all exercises is available on a CD
ROM from Prentice Hall.
You can also call 1-800-526-0485 or contact your Prentice Hall
rep (US,
International) to see about getting the manual.
If Prentice Hall isn't helpful, contact Stuart Russell and ask for a copy; to aid in identification
of instructors (vs students), please include in your message a URL for your course home page.
Please do not send requests to the aima-instructors list.
