(The following isn't particularly relevant to sci.math. Oh well.)

If he warned your class in advance that he'd do this, then I'd say that
you're right, this probably was another one of his social psychological tricks.
Believe it or not, the *warning* that he would do this probably made people
try a little harder in the class--no one wants to be embarrassed in front of
one's friends. The fact that he actually *posted* the results is despicable,
though--he shouldn't have carried through with his promise.
