How do professors feel about students who skip lectures?

Professors care, but professors in large lecture courses can’t tell who is there and who is not.

In smaller classes (<25), attendance is usually critical since those tend to rely on discussion. If students aren’t there (or haven’t done their work), the professor can get really ticked, even if s/he doesn’t show it outwardly.
