Seems like he changed the class sylabus though.

His class may be hard in some people's eyes but I enjoy studying with him. I put a lot of efforts in this class this quarter and it turns out that I learned a lot.
I am in applied math major and if you are also a math major student, I would recommend you to take his class and go to his office hours since he can teach you a lot about math and mathematical thinking.

He sucks at teaching, and refuses to post the homework solutions on CCLE cause he's a first class prick.
I really hated my experience with him, not in the least cause of long, computational exams - no fucking fun, just endless simple math.
Stay away, unless you're into working harder than you've worked in a while.

Ben Neria is one of the nicest, most compassionate professors out there. He'll go out of his way to help you learn the material. He'll hold your hand all the way to an A if you let him. He teaches you what you need to know and makes sure you understand it. All the topics are followed by an example or two that clarifies your doubts. Although after his brilliant explanation for each theorem, I'm not sure why you'd need more than one.
Despite not performing as well as I'd have liked, Ben Neria was the best professor I've ever taken. Taking his class was an enriching experience. His love for teaching was only surpassed by his knowledge of the subject. Every class I took was memorable. He's always there and willing to help in person after class, during office hours, or even on the forum in CCLE. He'll motivate you and inspire you every single time. I have never had so much respect for a professor but him. He's really a role model.

Enjoyed this professor and hope to take a class with him next quarter. Lectures are straightforward and follow the textbook. Homework is not out of the book although he suggests extra problems for practice from the text. Only 4 or 5 problems a week approximately due at the beginning of lecture on Monday. Midterms were easy (80% means at least) while the final was harder (~70% mean). Ben Neria is a chill guy and would recommend.

If you're looking for a good, straightforward professor for 115A, you can't go wrong with Omer! While his lectures may not be the most engaging, he explains things clearly and concisely. He assumes you have never taken a proof-based math class before, which was helpful for someone like me who has never taken a proof-based math class. He assigns weekly HWs, and weekly quizzes, two midterms, and a final. The tests surprised me because they were a lot more computational, while the homework was almost all proofs. If you go to his office hours, he's a nice guy and will take his time to make sure you understand the material. Overall, would highly recommend taking this as your first upper-div math class with Omer!

Grading: I bombed the first midterm, but learned how to study better for the second midterm and final. I was scared because I heard this class was very difficult, but I ended up doing better in this class than in 33A. If proofs don't come naturally for you, this class will require a lot of effort to complete the HWs and study for the tests.

Professor Ben Neria always wrote everything on the whiteboard - literally everything. He wanted you to have the clearest view of class contents...however that may not be a fascinating way. Also, he might only cover things not covered in the textbook...which means you need refer to a complete notebook when you are preparing for tests.

Ok, here's the breakdown of grades (from syllabus):
"Your final numerical score will be computed according to the following scheme. S = 10% homework + 20% midterm 1 + 20% midterm 2 + 50% Final exam."

BTW, the tests are not so intimidating, as long as you really put your heart into this course.

Great professor. A bit accent.

Professor Ben Neria is very dedicated and is also very good at explaining and proving concepts in lecture. He is also very approachable and helpful. He is a tough grader, especially with the more qualitative parts of his exams. His exams are fair and usually have at least one tough question in them. He also gives weekly homework of varying length. He is also hilarious from time to time with his savagery! Definitely worth taking his class.

Ben Neria is a great lecturer. His lectures feel like they are 40 minutes long despite being 30 and they are very clear, understandable, and, in my opinion, far superior to the textbook. That being said, his exams are difficult, but he has a fairly generous curve.
