Cómo

I'd like to know how could I translate "cómo" in this sentence:

... en recordar cómo eran mis profesores...

My book says: ... to remember what my teachers were like..
I said: "how my teachers were"

Yes, I guess I was wrong, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks

I can't think which of the two is better. I think they are both equally correct, but the former is more idiomatic and more natural.
