Methods and Techniques 1. Theoretical Explanation: The topics are explained theoretically within the scope of the course. Students listen to topic explanations in order to understand the basic concepts of programming and the logic of algorithms. 2. Applied Studies: Students carry out studies with various examples under the mentorship of the course instructor in order to apply the topics explained theoretically. Gains are tried to be achieved. 3. Step-by-Step Solution: The encountered problems are solved step by step and how each step works is explained. With this method, students are provided with a better command of the topics. 4. Real Life Examples: Real life examples and problem scenarios are presented for a better understanding of the topics. In this way, students see how to use what they have learned in practice. 5. Laboratory Sheets and Quizzes: Students' progress is evaluated with weekly laboratory handouts and pre-exam quizzes, and whether the topics are understood is monitored.

Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to provide students with the basic concepts of artificial intelligence (AI), to understand how AI works, its basic algorithms and application areas. Students will combine theoretical knowledge with practical applications by introducing sub-disciplines such as the history of AI, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision.

At the end of the course, students will be able to recognize the basic algorithms of AI, develop algorithms working with different types of data, discuss ethical and social impacts, and reach a level where they can produce solutions to real-world problems. The course provides a basic framework for students who want to understand the scientific and technical aspects of AI, while also preparing them for more advanced studies in the field of AI in the future.
