It makes it easier if it's a learning style you enjoy. If a professor is just going to read from a book all day, I'm honestly going to have a bad time. I came to this class for you to convey the concept; hence why I'm paying for said class. I had a professor who everyone seemed to love, but I did terribly in his class and just hated going. He'd constantly go off on tangents and every day he'd give us a totally illegible, handwritten page of notes. I never did well in his classes. Someone told me, "Well you rarely read the text books right; you just always go to class and take notes? Maybe you're not a book learner and people who like x are book learners?" No, people who like his class put up with all his idiocy and find it cutsie pootsie. I took architecture classes in grad school that went over the exact same material (op codes and VLIW) and the professor was just better at explaining things. I was like, "Oh...this makes sense .." It wasn't the teaching style, that other professor was just terrible at explaining these concepts (and really even understanding them).
