As a student, I think I only saw this a few times. Maybe at the end of 6.001 with Abelson & Sussman? As a professor, no, I've never gotten any kind of applaus

As a student, I think I only saw this a few times. Maybe at the end of 6.001 with Abelson & Sussman? As a professor, no, I've never gotten any kind of applause, though some polite "thank you" is no uncommon (and very much appreciated).
