I'm only saying he's not easy cause I hate and suck at science. He's a very funny lecturer, though the lectures themselves are a little useless (puts them up online - if you're reading this Cam, try doing fill in the blank pdf files to encourage people to come). Seems nice but also standoffish, depending on the day. Loves what he does.

Cam explains concepts well and is always available if you have questions. He made a mini book of important chapters to avoid needing a full textbook.. but if you pay attention in lectures, you don't need the textbook anyways. He is an amazing prof and I will definitely be taking another one of his courses - and I don't even like science! Cam ROCKS!

Comes across well in lecture but is very rude in lab sessions. You can ask him a question and he acts very rude as if you haven't been paying attention. Then does the classic male prof thing of spending an hour helping the table of boys. Always. Teaches in lecture but lab is a different story. He just comes across very rude to the female students

Cam is such a nice professor and is very passionate about the course, but it is extremely difficult. Majority of the class took it to fulfill part of the C requirements but beware, it is NOT a bird course. The midterm average was around a 60% and the year before was 55%! There is also a lot to memorize for the exams and but labs can be fun.

Best grade received in University so far - and I'm not a STEM student! Labs get tough for sure, but he and his TAs are extremely helpful. Fantastic prof, fantastic class.

Wasn't super engaged with the material as I was taking it as an elective, but overall a solid professor. Very passionate and knowledgeable about the material. Can't think of any flaws.

This was a great class by a great professor. Shout out to my TA Ezra, who was accommodating and helpful. Learned a lot about a newer subject. Would highly recommend. As long as you take notes in lecture, attend all the labs, ask for help when you don't understand, you are set!

Cam is honestly so great! I had him for both 1022B and1089 (RECOMMEND for breadth requirements). He is super accessible, willing to work with and help you, and literally attended labs in which he personally explained concepts to me. Class is soooo doable. Helps if you attend lectures but you can get away with skipping some too.

Super bird course + great prof. Cam was accessible outside of class and came to labs to help students. His jokes in class were awesome! Class itself is a bird course. 15% of the course is free (Unproctored quizzes and forum posts) Labs which make up 30% are a lot of fun and are really easy to do well. Overall great grade booster, will take again.

Apart from Cam being a great lecturer, he's also a great person. He constantly assured the class to reach out for help if needed and always attended the labs to help students. If you go to lecture and put effort, should be an easy A.

NON SCIENCE STUDENTS PLEASE READ BEFORE TAKING: Cam is actually such a gem—funny, sweet, total rock nerd. But don't let the “for non-science students” thing fool you. This course is insane. So much memorization, and content-heavy. Says focus on concepts, but you totes need everything. Also, 1/3 was an evil TA who nuked 10% off my paper for funsies.

I LOVE PROFESSOR CAMERON TSUJITA! He's a really enjoyable person. Don't do the readings - everything you need is in lectures (and he uploads transcripts for each.) I also reached out to him for advice on more science courses to take for my interests (I'm not in science) and he gave me a list of options for the coming year with prof names. Love.

Cam is awesome. He wears shirts like "I get along better with rocks than people" but it's super easy to tell he cares about his students immensely given how passionate he is with his lectures and teaching. Definitely would recommend. Rocks are pretty swag and Cam is a great prof!

He can't teach effectively. He rushes through too much content, and the slides are confusing and poorly written. Many students rely on AI or outside websites to understand the material. The labs are overly complex for a first-year course, and students often spend two hours stuck asking TAs around 20-30 questions per lab just to perform well.

Cam Tsujita is an amazing professor. He explains that he wasn't always a science-y student so he explains concepts because he knows not everyone taking his class may be a science student either. I took this course 2 yr ago but thought I would write a review now because this is the course that made me want to pursue a minor in geology.

Lots of homework

For those taking EARTH1022, here are some pointers. - Go to lecture (actually, like there's so much content) - This is an easier science credit, not easy - If your not good at memorization forget it - Cam is kind and interesting, knows his stuff - Very hard to succeed, very hard to fail - Cam does a great job at spacing the weight of each lab/test

Dr. Tsujita's lectures are very descriptive and I could go back and relearn anything I didn't understand during lecture. He also makes brief appearances during labs and answers any questions asked.
