Well the first draft is there. The assignment says approx 1500 words, I’m currently sitting at 1190, excluding footnotes and such. I’m not sure if I should add more, cause I think the next thing is to talk about Markov Decision Processes, Dynamic Programming, Monte Carlo Methods, or Temporal-Difference Learning.

All of which are quite large topics and I worry would bulk up the essay to much, it feels quite clean and complete at the moment.

The marking guidelines say for full marks you need to demonstrate the following.

• The example is valid, clearly identified and accurately described. 
• The identification of the intelligent aspect is accurate, plausible and clearly justified.
• The explanation of how the ‘intelligence’ is achieved is accurate and clear and evidenced by suitable references.

That dreaded question, does it satisfy all the markers needs?
