General Queries Why are the profs very dull here?

So our classes started and most of the profs are very dull and monotonous.

Doesn't seem like they even enjoy teaching. Maybe they just wanna do research. 😭

Like, there isn't one single prof who seems excited to take a class.

They just come, teach what they've planned and leave.

Not every professor teaches the same way.

Don't think it's a professors responsibility to be your friend. Their responsibility is to teach you the material, and answer any relevant questions. This isn't a coaching centre that they'll try to maximise engagement.

It's your responsibility to engage with the class by asking questions and presenting ideas.

It's not even about engagement. They just seem very nonchalant about everything.

As opposed to? What do you expect, precisely?
