could it be that the teacher is boring too?

Isn't it amazing that although they have proven lectures are the least effective way to learn, everyone still has to sit through them ? I know what it's like to get stuck in the right side of your brain, where you are thinking about everything but what is going on in class. You can try drawing pictures of what the professor is explaining instead of just words - if possible. That is a right-brained activity and will help you apply what the lecture is about to something more visual instead of auditory language. Try using different color pens or pencils to spice things up. Sometimes it helps to get mentally ready for class by praying or meditating before you come in. Certain foods and drinking more water help with concentration.
P.S. Yeah, the professor could have a boring style, too. I once had one who read straight out of the book. Yet another possiblity - is if you have continued boredom for more than 2 quarters or semesters, is that you might want to try a different field.

Stop eating sugar, if you are over 18, drink a cup of coffee before class, also, make sure you are in the right class for you. If you are too bored, it may be a sign that you are in the wrong class.

When I'm in a really boring class, I just keep writing. Writing prevents you from falling asleep.
Or if you want to seem like you're taking notes, but you're actually not, just write down random words. Like lyrics to a song.

look at the board, sometimes they give instructions or notes
get your mind on concentrating
and don't sit near distracting people
