For the lecture on state space search, there are many good introductory books, for example:
Handbook Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, by Russel and Norvig (http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/)
or
Handbook The essence of Artificial Intelligence, by Alison Cawsey (http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~alison/essence.html) (Chapters 1-4)
Knowlegde and insight
The student is acquainted with the most commonly used AI techniques, including learning algorithms.
The student can correctly trace a learning algorithm on a small data set or environment.
The student is capable of applying evaluation techniques to estimate the performance of the obtained results and to calculate the performance of an algorithm given a concrete application context.
The use of knowledge and insight:
The student can explain the outcome of a given algorithm when applied in a given setting.
The student is able to choose the appropriate techniques given a concrete learning problem, to apply them correctly and to evaluate the obtained results.
Judgement ability
The student must be able to devise and sustain arguments in favor of against some choice of (learning-) technique for a given problem.
Communication
He/she can motivate the chosen approach to specialist and non specialists.
Skills
Students have obtained the skills to autonomously develop, program, analyse, and apply learning techniques to a wide variety of problems.
