That assumes that any professor/faculty who enters into a relationship with a student will automatically grant grading incentives or be less harsh in grading said student's work. I'd imagine most professors are more professional than that. That's guilty until proven innocent. If there's ever any suspicion of such malfeasance, one could raise the issue with the department who could offer to do an unbiased regrading of the student's work to determine if there was any favoritism and if so, take appropriate action.
- scott_s 11y agoYes, I find it exceedingly likely that a faculty member in a relationship with a student with end up favoring them, in some manner, in class and with grades. It doesn't have to be conscious, we know people suffer many cognitive biases. The professional thing to do is to avoid being in such a situation that the cognitive biases can come into play.
