I prefer professor using blackboard and chalks. I never like a class when my prof use powerpoint slides. online course is even worse, but they are great for easy credits.

I prefer a syllabus that tells me what I need to know. Then I find it and learn it.

I like a professor that is comfortable with all combinations of teaching . . . use a blackboard when needed - use powerpoint when effective is my motto. . .

Usually it goes like this:

1. Hands-on (or "I don't need the manual")

2a. Success!
2b. Read manual

anything centered around lecturing or professor-class interaction. when I'm paying attention and I hear something, I remember it. in most of my college classes, I didn't even bother taking notes; I just listed to what the professor was saying, understood it, and remembered it.

I had a couple professors who really favored small group learning. ie: they'd break the class up into 4-5 person groups, for the groups to discuss the material, and the prof would just chill in the front of the class grading papers. I hated that.

well when it comes to a classrom id say a small classroom no matter what teacher it is, it is easier to comprehend rather than huge classes like in an auditorium
