Required readings are from Russell and Norvig and handouts.
I'll try to assign reading for each class. I will also mark some sections is being ``focus'' sections for you to read carefully. But, you should read the entire chapter! Just don't get too bent out of shape trying to understand stuff outside the focus sections.
Learn to read for gist.
I will assign some readings from published articles. These are good practice to read and give you an idea of what researchers in the field assume you know (and what issues they are still grappling with). They will be linked to the web page.
