TLDR (Thanks GPT!)

CS 7637 (Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence) in OMSCS provides a deep dive into classical AI from a cognitive science perspective, emphasizing symbolic reasoning over statistical methods. The course features a rigorous workload, including weekly assignments, open-ended mini-projects, proctored exams, and a semester-long project to build an AI agent for solving Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM). Students need strong Python and writing skills, with challenges like Mini-Project 2 requiring significant logical problem-solving and creativity. While some content feels outdated and involves busywork, the course’s engaging lectures, unique problem-solving opportunities, and focus on foundational AI concepts make it highly rewarding for those interested in classical AI approaches. The reviewer rated it 3.8/5 for quality and 3.1/5 for difficulty, recommending it for students eager to explore cognitive science and symbolic AI.
