The article got the numbers wrong, but that course was especially active when I took it, and I was taking it the second time it was offered. Still the best course in the OMSCS program that I&#x27;ve taken. Very lively, helpful and deep discussions, some of which had individual responses going into thousands of words.<p>The course itself was very innovative in its directions and tests because it asked questions that compared and contrasted human and artificial intelligence. That not just got people&#x27;s creative juices going, but also made it relatable. More than one person related the artificial learning we were imparting to the code with our own learning processes - or that of our children.<p>The instructors (Dr.Goel and Dr.Joyner) also used it as a chance to compare the online vs on-campus versions of the course with some interesting results (tldr: the online version was OOM better due to student participation, which was likely due to self-selection of early adopters of the OMSCS program, but still worthwhile).
