Umm... Your prof taught you Lisp, but you didn't find it interesting enough to actually implement your project in it?



No, more a case of I didn't find the project interesting enough to do. I figure by your final year of university, you'd be choosing projects that actually interest you. Not so in this class -- the prof (actually just a grad student -- lousy instructor, bet he gets tenure) made up the projects, and we all had to do the same thing -- part of a "robot" that could given a map, navigate around a "house", and given a set of instructions, pick up "objects" and "move them around". I had taken the AI course because I was interested in neural nets. Turned out the neural net section of the course consisted of about half a lecture. In retrospect, I'd rather have taken languages and compiler theory. :P
