The class consists of 6 HW's, a midterm and a final. The HW's sum up to 10% and the midterm/final are each 50%.

I agree with the other review that the class is very straightforward. The HW's can be a little challenging but you can typically finish them after going over his slides or getting a bit of advice during OH or from the TA. But they're nothing crazy if you take notes and study the slides.

The midterm and final consist of roughly 5-8 problems and of those problems, 4-6 are basically from the HW / lecture slides. But the last couple are often new and made to be tricky.

A good bonus is that he gives sample midterms and finals, but I wouldn't rely on those to get a feel for the actual midterm/final as it won't be of the same rigor. Overall though, I would recommend this class to anyone either interested in the field of System Reliability or simply looking to take a somewhat easy MAE elective.

MAE 174 taught by Mosleh is a very easy MAE TBR or elective class. It's a simple stats class and I found it intuitive and interesting even though I suck at stats. Just follow the recommended homework and review your notes and you should be fine. The class is completely podcasted through ZOOM and CCLE since it is cross listed with the masters online course of the same name. The grading is 50% midterm and 50% final, which is pretty daunting but the exams were nothing surprising. Do the suggested homework and pay attention to the videos and it will be a great class for you.
