I got a chavrusa a little while ago for learning daf yomi and it turns out that he had gone to a shiur for two and a half cycles. As he puts it, "I listened to daf yomi for many years."
A lot of people will go to shiurim and not pay any attention to what is being said or learned. They will go through the motions without internalizing anything. I think it's very important to learn in order to learn, not just to go to a shiur to get through it. Of course, there is something to be said to one who gets himself up in order to go to a shiur, but that can't be the ultimate goal. When you listen to a shiur or learn a gemara and actually understand it there is a much greater enjoyment in the learning. That's the satisfaction and pleasure that can be seen in the faces of gedolei torah.
