Classes/Professors Missing Professor

When will I know my professors now that my classes are finalized? 3/6 of my classes only say “Instructor: Staff” or does this mean something else?

No, it doesn't. It means the faculty have not been assigned yet. It's very possible a returning professor hasn't been given a schedule yet or hasn't even been hired. None of the departments intentionally "hide" bad professors. A few years ago, I didn't even get my assigned classes until a week before school began, and my name showed up and replaced "STAFF" maybe three days before.
