Comment:
I'm stunned to see people describing Prof. Cameron as boring! I took a number of great classes, and wrote my thesis with him. His fund of knowledge in films is unsurpassed (and I've gone on to take graduate film courses, and work in the industry) he has a wonderful wry sense of humor and was incredibly helpful with great criticism with my thesis.

Comment:
Lectures are pretty boring-he's not a very animated speaker. His questions in class and his essay questions are very unclear-as he will readily admit. He's not that hard of a grader-but he does usually have very specific answers in mind.

An expert on the subject matter. He has this delightful dry wit that avoids those who don't seek it out. Basically, he's only boring if you don't pay attention. Cameron's great.

Cameron is a hidden treasure at the college. He's one of the best professors in the English department and you'll get a lot out of the reading with his direction.

nice guy, but sooooooooooooo boring and extremely unclear- in his paper topics, what he is looking for from students, and even in his own lectures- he just kind of wanders around in his own haze.

I love him!! He's so nice, absolutely loves what he teaches, not intimidating at all.. Seems to favor some students more than others though. But over all he's a very pleasant professor.

If you approach his class with a measure of maturity and patience you will very likely have the most rewarding intellectual experience of your life. He doesn't feel the need to put on a show, but he's totally brilliant.

Cameron is very helpful in class and is an interesting - though a bit dry - lecturer. He's a very intelligent professor. And take Proust, it's wonderful.

An insufferable bore. I struggled with his paper assignments until I realized that he simply wanted a regurgitation of his lecture notes. Try it--he likes it!
