授業後 is a set expression meaning after class.
- 授業 = class / lesson
- 後(ご / あと) = after
Here, 後 is attached directly to the noun to make a compound noun:
- 授業後 = after class
- 食後 = after a meal
- 放課後 = after school
So there is no particle between 授業 and 後 because they form one expression.
A similar alternative is 授業の後, which also means after class. That version is a little more transparently grammatical for beginners:
- 授業の後、そのまま図書館に行きます。
Both are natural.
In this sentence, そのまま means something like:
- just like that
- without doing anything else first
- straight
- right away
So the nuance is:
After class, I go straight to the library
or
After class, I go to the library without stopping anywhere else first.
It often suggests that no change or interruption happens in between. For example, the speaker does not go home first, does not change plans, and does not stop somewhere else.
