They get paid a ballston of money to repeat the same stuff they do every year while like 30-100 dudes n dudettes troll around on laptops or if they ban laptops furiously text on their phones n like look at reddit on their phone n I just don't really get the point but everyone else is doing it so I gotta ya know or else people will be like maaan why isn't that kid clapping

We clapped for one who was a military veteran right before Veterans' Day.

[stillwater]

this is a shitboomer tradition that was probably started with debt-fueled, unsustainable growth.

We gave our contracts prof. a standing ovation after he gave us a very emotional and heartfelt speech in our last class.

This thread makes me regret not clapping for some professors. I am going to always spread the clap from now on.

[delusional]

I hate when people do it because then you have to go along no matter how you felt about the professor.

[TTRansfer]

I think clapping is a respect thing. It's customary at this point even if maybe it shouldn't be, so not clapping is beta IMO.

No. Clapping and following the trend is beta. Crossing your arms and scowling like a boss (or even booing) is alpha as fuck.

It was too easy, but I appreciated it nonetheless.

The worst prof I ever had bailed immediately at the end of the last class. I admired that he was not waiting for undeserved praise, but still think he is a clown.

Once after a particularly good torts lecture (around early October) there was a spontaneous standing ovation.

This cannot be serious. Who the fuck does this?

You're telling me a solid explanation of Coasean economics doesn't get you hard?

I thought in that case the proper protocol was to get up and show the professor the obvious erection in my pants, not clap.

End of one of my classes today. People were clapping and the prof just said, "Why do you guys always clap? I get paid to do this."

[kalvano]

I applaud that statement.

[Tom Joad]

I think this has been a 2/4 clapping semester. Maybe 3/4.

[cinephile]

Clapping costs you nothing. Our 1L year, we bought all our professors gifts. Which seemed a bit crazy at the time because they are getting paid for this.

[stillwater]

I want to start a tradition whereby we boo the thieves out of the room.

[GatorEagle1]

We clapped for our professor who won professor of the year. I thought that was acceptable since he won an actual award.

[kazzmania]

Clapping = manners. simple

[stillwater]

Clapping = manners. simple

clapping for crooks is misguided.

[drmguy]

It's stupid and I hate it.

I would be fine with it if we had the choice and people actually exercised their choice. I'm still bitter from clapping for a terrible professor last year.

[stillwater]

we booed one clown outta the room.

This guy sounds great.

Last semester one of my classes clapped four separate times for a professor. He started off the last class saying that we shouldn't clap after class because we still had a review session the following week and everyone clapped after the announcement and after class. He started off the review session by saying how strange last week was and everyone clapped after that announcement and after class as well. He was great though. He deserved even more clapping than we gave him.
