Adjacency bonus to science from campus?

[Big J Money]

Looking at a couple of recent videos, the major science bonuses to the campus have changed to:

1 / adjacent mountain
.5 / adjacent jungle
.5 / adjacent district
+2 / citizen

Is it just me or does this make campus positioning fairly irrelevant? If I set one completely surrounded by jungle, that's +3. Yet if I settle one surrounded by farms/flood plains or some other growth based region, I'll have far more. Even just having a city with 2 more pop means +4 science. Or am I understanding this bonus per citizen incorrectly?

Bonus from citizens is the bonus from specialists placed in the district. The specialist slots are added with buildings.

The bonus per citizen is not a bonus per citizen in the City. In the video's you can see that for instance a 10 population city still gives only +2 science from the Campus.
It should be read as +2 per citizen working the Campus. Citizens working the Campus (or other districts) is the replacement of the Civ5 mechanism of Specialists.

A building like a Library or a University in the Campus can enable citizens to work the Campus (so +4 science if 2 slots are worked). The Campus itself doesn't have any slots for citizens to work it.

The UI for assigning or or more citizens to work the Campus is on the map. However, it's not the most intuitive: it still shows only 1 slot even if there are 2 available. Presumably you have to multi-click it like a 3-way toggle, but I'm sure that we will figure it out.
Therefore, placement of the Campus near mountains and other districts is still very valuable.

Per citizen in the campus district, it has to be... right?

I noticed also that the factors says "bonus extends to all cities within 6 tiles", but what bonus exactly? The descriptions seem pretty bad.

Adjacency bonus is a bit overrated, you still get the great people points and your buildings are as good as ever with the expection of some unique ones.

It is nice to have but other things are more important.

Ugh, wait so it's per specialist, yet the civopedia says "per citizen". That's not the best choice of wording. And that makes much more sense!

 

[Big J Money]

It's still poorly worded. It could easily say +2 per citizen in this district.

Or we just need to learn the new definitions? Population refers to the entire city and citizen refers to per-tile in general, perhaps.

 

[Big J Money]

New definitions are unrelated to this. A city with 9 of its 10 population working any tiles at all contains 9 citizens. Campus doesn't provide +2 science per citizen. It provides +2 per citizen working the campus tile. This isn't game breaking, but to pretend like this is our fault rather than unclear documentation is a being unnecessarily gracious. Quill was perplexed by the same thing.
