If you are referring to MIT, I never observed this when I was there (mid 1980s).

The only professor I've seen get a standing ovation (not including retirement lectures) was Patrick Winston during one of the last lectures of Artificial Intelligence. Or, maybe How to Speak. Memory is a bit fuzzy.

UCSD. Most of my professors received a round of applause at the end of the final lecture. Pretty common practice here. Mostly in my stem classes. Didn’t really happen in lower division general ed. When you’ve been grinding through difficult math, computer science and other stem, a camaraderie develops, I suppose
