Comment:

The passion that Prof. Cameron shows in his lectures is infectious. Totally get why he might be too energetic or scattered for others to enjoy, but, for me, his energy brought topics like Manichaeism, Augustine, Bacchic cults etc ALIVE. Absolutely inspiring human! READ, bring your interpretations about the material to class, and listen carefully...

I LOVE RON CAMERON. I take a class with him every year. He's my favorite professor. I've learned so much from him and I get that he's idiosyncratic but you will learn from him even if you don't like him. But he's hilarious and crazy and great.

He is the best person ever. He is a genius, totally energetic and all over the place, and totally devoted to teaching. He's also one of the funniest people on campus and definitely has the biggest personality on campus. I love him and have taken two classes with him and because of him I'm going to be a religion major. I've learned SO much from him.

Ron Cameron is the most amazing professor I've ever had. He is an incredible lecturer, and he is one of the leading experts in his field. He runs around the room, acts things out - you can tell he's extremely passionate about what he's teaching. He's also hilarious! Be sure to take a class with hime while at Wesleyan!

Comment:

He is one of the smartest Proffesors on campus because of the fact he has taught this class for around 3 decades. His grading however is ridiculous and I assure you that you will get no higher than a B. Do not make the mistake I did by taking this class. GPA killer.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. He seems passionate but it is about nothing. Hard to understand. I couldn't stand one and a half hours in a class with him. Worst lecturer I've ever had. He outright said Christianity and every faith is beautiful but wrong -- so derogatory.

Comment:

Best teacher I've had a Wesleyan. His enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. I went into the class thinking I was going to drop it because the first reading seemed dense but he manages it to make it interesting and enjoyable. As long as you do the reading and take advantage of office hours when something is unclear, you'll be fine.

Professor Cameron is a really enthusiastic guy, he is so well learned and his lectures are never boring. He really knows his stuff. He is a really tough grader though, I would get a B+ on his exam and he told me I did extremely well.I don't consider a B+ an extremely good grade, but he does. Focus on the topics he emphasized, they'll n on the exam

Comment:

Honestly, he is one of the most eloquent men I have ever heard speak; however, it proves to be hard for him to stay on track. Lectures are extremely hard to follow due to his presentation (in other words, he's so smart he needs to hold it back a little bit). He is very emphatic about the New Testament and extremely stringent with grading.

Really really awesome. So so smart and he presents a very interesting view of the new testament. A lot of work, but really worth it. I learned so much. And he teaching method (including interesting uses of the word "****") is very engaging.

I took him 15 years ago - and my biggest regret was not taking more courses with him. Yes a funny accent and at times goes on a bit - but brilliant, passionate and provoking.

Get past the Elmer Fudd accent and you'll find one of the best teachers Wes has to offer. Truly loves his subject and communicates his enthusiasm to his students.

completely awesome and engaging, although sometimes he's so hopped up on caffine it seems like he's the only one who has any idea what he's talking about...
