This would mean that the professor teaches by actually doing what he teaches. For example, in biology if you were learning how to identify plants, a hands on professor would take the class to see plants and identify them rather than just looking at pictures.

@JakJacq Thank you for your explanation. I really make sense of the general meaning of it. However, how about a math professor? It really happened to me. I mean, one of my colleagues told me that one of the math professors is really hands on. I am not sure if she refers to his academic aspect or general aspect. 🤔

@lller I believe they are saying your professor is hands on in an academic aspect. "Hands on" is a phrase used to describe either how someone learns or how they teach.
