AI Large Practical (U01911)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 9 ? Acronym : INF-3-AILP

A large practical (LP) during the third year is a compulsory part of all AI joint honours degrees. It is also compulsory for non-graduating students doing AI honours modules unless a student only stays at Edinburgh for a short period. Students on an AI joint ordinary degree do the LP only if they are not taking the CS group project.

Students are divided up into tutorial groups with a demonstrator allocated to each group. Tutorial groups will meet at least once a week at a time of mutual convenience. The LP coordinator and demonstrators will assist students with the planning and organisation of their LP.
