Follow along and work on your project quietly without talking to your neighbors or interrupting the class with excessive questions. If you begin to fall behind, follow the instructions in your class handout or watch what your tablemates are doing to try to catch up.
Admit that you didn't understand a step or two once the class is over and the teacher has time for some one-on-one instruction. You'll impress her with your honesty and your questions may even help her re-write her instructions and make her lecture more clear for the next class. Help other students keep up with the large class if they're struggling with the concepts. Let the teacher know what you did to help them "get" the technique if he seems responsive to advice. As a student, you may have been able to come up with an angle to make an idea more accessible to a beginner.
Give the teacher ideas for future classes if you're an advanced crafter who's just taking the class for fun. After class, demonstrate other ways she can use the same tools to achieve new effects, for example. Show your teacher projects that you've created using the techniques and materials you learned about in one of his former classes. You can even reveal new ideas you developed using his concepts as a springboard.
