* Sometimes you'll read the material... and then the lecture will be a regurgitation of the material. For me, this means doodling in notebooks or falling asleep
* Other times you'll read the material... and it will be wildly different from what the Professor decides to cover. So now you've read something and you're just thinking about what the hell you're talking about
* Some teachers don't actually provide material
* Sometimes lecture is just about going over homework problems (this was mainly in intro courses, but it was SEVERELY lame if you got most of the answers right).
I think it's best when there's material to be covered and the teacher has extra insight to add or confusing elements that they can somehow explain better.
