I have many different types of professors. One common trait I did notice between all of them however was how unbiased they all are. I am enrolled in a lot of political science courses and cannot tell if my teachers are liberal, democrat, republican etc. This is a good thing though because then I am able to learn about politics from a non biased viewpoint. Overall my teachers are very relaxed. They come to class, lecture and present their material in a straightforward fashion, but are all about helping the students understand the best they can. They do not tend to yell or get mad when students do not do the reading or turn in class work because at CU and I assume other universities it is your responsibility to do the work, in order to get the most out of the money and time you are spending to earn a higher education. Furthermore, the professors are all very professional and exert a lot of time and energy into helping you succeed. I have not yet encountered a professor that didn't get back to me promptly over e-mail or one that wasn't willing to meet me for office hours. The main point here is that your professors are there to help you, but you have to put the time into getting the help from them.
