While studying for your open-book final exam in biology, you daydream about having access to an expert system during the exam that would help you get all the correct answers. Based on the ES components described in Technology Insight 5.3 , describe the contents of the ES. Describe where each of the following would be found:
a) Contents of the textbook
b) Your lecture notes
c) Problem background provided on the exam
d) Your personal experience with nature
e) Your common sense
f) Answers to questions you have about the objective of a problem
Which kinds of questions (e.g., multiple choice, true/false, short essay, problem solving) would the expert system best help you to answer? For which kinds would a neural net be better?
