The rule
When the subject (a professor) performs the action expressed by

the verb (gives), we use the Active Voice.
The focus is on the doer of the action.
A professor gives lectures to large groups of students.
When the action (are given) is the focus, not the subject or when the doer is unknown, unimportant or obvious from the context, we use the Passive Voice.
Lectures are given to large groups of students.
