First of all they want the teacher to know what he or she is talking about. Students want the teacher to be organized and clear in his/her expectations . Then they want an antimated presentation not a droning reading of the book.
A little humor is also appreciated. Students also like a teacher who truly cares about them and helps them learn. They appreciate a teacher who admits when he doesn't know something and who is willing to listen to student input or even dissent. Serious students want a teacher who has control over the class and doesn't allow a unruly atmosphere. Sounds like a lot to ask; that is why not every teacher is effective but others are.
When I was evaluating professors and looked at student evaluations, lack of organization and boring presentation were the main negative factors.
