When you mention how a teacher won't tell you what to read for next class, do they expect you to figure that out on your own? Or does such reading just not get done?
I would say for the vast majority of my classes, there was no expectation to read before class for most classes. I only had two classes with explicit reading expectations, and those teachers did check if we had read. The rest of the time, since teaching was so teacher-centered and top-down, there wasn't much of a need to read before class.
congratulations and good luck with your viva
