My experience is that lecturers are mostly oblivious and indifferent to student understanding. And most students, in my experience (self included), generally care more about getting "through" the lecture rather than "getting it". And I personally, similar to the OP, believe that real understanding of a lecture can usually only arise following active engagement after the lecture.

> care more about getting "through" the lecture rather than "getting it" What's the point in attending if you don't intend to learn? Perhaps I was simply lucky to go to a good uni or perhaps the times have changed but such lecturers were rare when and where I studied (Exeter Uni., '74-'77) and in the worst cases we campaigned to get them removed from the course.
