I just received a bottle of Wild Turkey 101, each from two students. Couple bottles of good bourbon is a nice tip.

Can be pretty generous as long as it's before the grades are turned in

How much is an A or a B?
How much is the recording I made of you answering that question worth?  .

Alternate idea: the Profs become independent contractors and charge you a fee for their class directly and then they pay the university a set fee for lecture hall and lab time.

That would be a very interesting model - but it would potentially cause all sorts of problems for the accreditation of degrees, which might be a practical snag in terms of actually doing something like that. |

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? The OP is aka, "Clodski Sucksdickski". LOL! |

Who am I kidding, you guys are pros at dealing with college kid BS  and I have too much penis to be persuasive 
One of my more fond (because its funny now, but wasn't at the time) college memories was sitting in a profs office arguing for a passing exam grade. I failed an exam because I misread a 3 as an 8 in a math problem worth 45% of the test grade. He listened. He empathized. He agreed I did all of the work correctly using the misread number. After kindly listening to me say everything I had to say he finally responded with "That sucks. But 'no partial credit' is in the syllabus you signed". I'm sure I looked like a deer in an 18 wheeler's headlights

Can't be any worse than some of the tenured retards currently on faculty.

I like the idea of a collection plate. For best results, pass it around just before each test/exam.

Assuming you're into that sort of thing, I always thought banging grad students was the extra compensation granted to tenured professors.
