In general, students should be familiar with the concepts of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Whether presented in a simplified form or with a full architectural understanding (including retrieval pipelines and vector databases), having a conceptual grasp is important.

If a course does not explicitly include RAG or its underlying principles, students are encouraged to independently explore and understand these concepts. From an educational perspective, this helps build a stronger foundation in modern AI systems and prepares them to work with real-world applications that combine information retrieval with generative models.
