How much should you tip your professor after finals?
Replies

This is sooooo stupid! You tip proportional to how much you need your grade to improve. Duh.
Everybody knows that.0 -
Not gonna tip my professors. It's my money and I'll spend it how I want. If professors feel they are being paid unfairly, they can go back to school and find a new career just like I am. ha!0

Not even 15%, really?0 -

The best tip is to not harass your professor during office hours.
If I was a professor, I'd want to lower the grade of anyone who spent more than 5 minutes in my office a semester (unless I liked them).
My professors liked when I set up office hours to learn more.0 -
I look around a bit during the test, and can tell roughly how many people are cheating. I give him a rough percentage after the test is over (since I'm usually one of the last ones to finish). I think that's one of the most valuable tips you can give a professor.
Btw you user name freaks me out. (Bio project...don't ask.)0 -
As a professor, I can attest that we are NOT allowed to take monetary compensation outside of our pay. We can be fired. I suggest you "tip" a plant, book/journal or anything less than 20 dollars. Or sleep with... never mind.0

If any of my professors expected me to tip them... they are plain out crazy. I'll put a damn 100% "freedom" tax on it and say your welcome for defending it. (As much as I hate that saying.)0

Im sorry, whut?
Surely the £27,000 tuition costs should be enough?0 -
This.
My UNI professor made a huge speech about this coincidentally right after finals.
I hope he's doing okay. To be completely honest I regret only giving 15%.
As you should. For shame. 15% is not a good tip anymore, 20-25% is the standard.0 -
Not a dam thing. He gets paid plenty.0

I said NO ---- REALLY!
Jennifer, I am disappointed.0 -
I call "TROLL" because there ain't no *&%$$##@ ! way any professor worth his salt would accept a gratuity of any kind!0
-
Gratuity, no! Thank you gift? Sure. Just make it under 20 bucks.0

I can't please everyone.0 -

Probably not. If an adjunct, which comprises 80% of the workforce, he earns an hourly wage for time spent at the college, not a salary. Any grading, planning, conferencing off time is unpaid, so that potential 30 or 50 an hour scales down to about 10 an hour when adding in all the additional work. Better to work at Taco Bell for that.0 -
A grad school professor of mine took our entire class (only 12 people) to a bar for our last session and bought the first round of drinks. I really should have tipped him!0

I thought showing my boobs was enough0

Oh, okay... I really didn't know. That's why I made this thread.
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the subject, some people say 10% others say 25% and the seemingly minority don't tip at all, evidently.
(I feel bad for any professors with these latter students.)
It's even worse that some of them justify the fact that they don't tip.0 -
Omgosh, lol, these responses are so cute and funny!0
-
Couldn't that be considered bribery?
I've never heard of such a thing.0 -
Never, ever tip before you receive your report card.0

I don't think "Cute and funny." are the right choice of words here.
I feel it's rather disheartening to know that people aren't aware of the fact that times have changed, and you SHOULD tip your professor, 10, 15 or 25% respectively.
I made this thread to find out what was deemed appropriate, and I learned a lot of people deem 15% to be the ideal amount, as have I.
I never imagined the response I'd get regarding people not tipping at all though, and the sexual innuendo?0 -
I only do 15% if it's a mediocre course. For general rule of thumb, I'll do AT LEAST 20% if the class was good.
Thanks, this seems to be the norm.0 -

I have attended two different universities in two different states, I have never seen anyone tip the professor. And you would expect to see that in California of all places.
Why should I have to tip him? He chose the field, not me.0 -
So let me get this straight...a criminal justice and law enforcement officer academy student wants to know how much to tip his instructors? Are you freakin kidding me? LOL!!! Best Laugh Ever!0

All kidding aside, if anyone learns of a gratuity made to an instructor and reports it, that instructor can be in trouble. I ALWAYS tell students who TRY to give money (especially at the holidays) that although I am flattered they liked the course enough to offer, I cannot accept and a perfect way to thank me is to write a fair review on ratemyprofessors.com. Easier than losing my job in NYC.0 -

EDIT: I have also decided this is has to be trolling and I fell for it. :sad:0 -

I'm taking Criminal Justice classes at my UNI, while in the Academy.
I don't see a problem with this?0 -

Most students myself included do it discreetly, as to not be disrespectful of their professor and to not give the wrong idea.
Did you read the EDU link provided in the original post?0
