One of the professors on my campus has a policy where she gives

Yes, this is definitely worth bringing up with the administration. You can tip them off anonymously if you want and they can confirm by asking random students, that way your name is not attached to this business.

That's a huge ethics violation

I'm not opie but can you guys explain why this is a violation? I don't see anything wrong

Because if your name is on the review, you're basically forced to be nice even if you want to give a bad review in case she marks your grade down as punishment for giving a bad review.

The professor can bias her marks against students who don't rate her favorably if she knows who the students are.

By offering free marks she tricks the dumber ones into failing her class and the average/smart ones into giving her favorable reviews for a token, almost meaningless, benefit.

I have to ask, OP; Is your teacher Jewish?

>>17181088
No, she's not jewish.

I guess the real problem I have with this is how subjective the class is. It's upper division psychology, and the final project is a presentation. If it was chemistry or physics it wouldn't be such a big deal

Professor (not yours) writing here.

An insider's secret - the department already knows about it (There are very few secrets in academia), discounts all his high survey grades, and laughs at his vanity behind his back. So if he is foolish enough to think that bribing students for high evaluations is going to do his career much good, you be smart enough to grab the ten points and run.
