Inspired by several threads - one about tipping, and one about whether or not college students are really the "customer" (since they pay tuition) - I was wondering what level of tipping y'all think would be appropriate for a college professor.
If you consider the student the customer, then I think we can all agree that there can be a huge variation in the quality of instruction - from totally incompetent faculty, to fucking incomprehensible foreigner, or old farts who are just phoning it in - but also really good instructors that are engaging and put a lot of effort into the class. If you assume that the instructors get paid the same, then it seems there's no incentive for better performance. Tipping could fix that. 
But what kind of tipping should it be? Is it sort of like a meal, in that students should tip something like 15-20% of the tuition cost for the class at the end of the semester? Or is it more like a coffee shop, with a tip jar, and people throw in a few bucks at the end of each class session? Or maybe like the guy that delivers your refrigerator? You might give him $20 if he's not a dick. Or maybe like a stripper? If the class is particularly good, students can just get up an shove a dollar bill down my pants or something? |

I thought in ancient days the professors were paid by the students at the end of each lecture.
I'll bet that weeded out the bad presenters.

The professors that I like and that I actually learn from receive a gift from me or I help them to set up work shops/help them with their research if needed. If the professor is a piece of shit that keeps saying men are the devil and the world would be better off without them well the dean gets a visit and I rate them horribly at the end of the semester. |

For what I was charged for those classes, I figure the gratuity was included in the price of the course. And for what I was charged for those classes, I want a fucking rebate.
Tip professors- are you nuts or do you just have a shit-load of unwanted money that you don't know what to do with? |

Tip should be performance based and tuition should only cover minimum wage. I feel $300 per A given per credit hour should suffice.

Collection plate. If there's not enough after the first pass, shake your head a bit and send it back around 10 minutes later.

There was a professor's assistant I would have given a tip back in college...
But are we talking "Thanks for being an awesome professor, here is $20" or "Here is a check for $500 since you are going to double all my test scores?". |

I had a couple professors who wouldn't have made it past day one. Correct answer? I would tip hard after every poor test I took. A sliding scale, the worse I did on that test, the better the tip so that hopefully he/she won't flunk me. |

Tip on a curve, after final grades are submitted.
