 ===== Grading =====
-Your grade for this course will be based only on the assignments, most of which will require the submission of a jupyter notebook that includes text descriptions of your methods, results and conclusions and the python code for defining and applying AI algorithms.  Each notebook will be graded for correct implementation and results, interesting and thorough discussion, and good organization, grammar and spelling. No quizzes or exams will be given.
+Your grade for this course will be based only on six to eight assignments, all
+of which will require the submission of a jupyter notebook that
