Oopse, I missed this topic about MDP (https://www.ai-class.com/course/video/videolecture/105) before MDP quiz... It's kinda related to MAKING DECISION topic that must be covered later, so please ignore the second set of videos I recommend. Instead I recommend this one (I didn't saw all of them yet, but the intro sound promising)
