Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, I sit in class and listen to my professor lecture for an hour and a half. I just want to die some days. Ok, maybe I am being a bit dramatic. But I will honestly say that I do not enjoy going to that class. It's not because the teacher doesn't know her stuff, it is just that she doesn't present it in a way that is at all engaging.
Sometimes professors don't realize that they are not engaging their class with the lecture because it is a subject that they know so much about themselves, and so they are interested in what they are teaching.
While I don't always care for participating in class, I think that if this professor were to incorporate some sort of activity to go along with the lecture, it would keep my mind from wandering so much.
Lectures don't have to be a bore. Maybe being open for feedback about the lectures would give professors some insight into what they could possibly change to keep their students from zoning out.
