Unless they were absolutely terrible, professors received a standing ovation at the end of the quarter. Feel like this is tradition, no?
If you are referring to MIT, I never observed this when I was there (mid 1980s).
Strang's OCW lectures on linear algebra are excellent. From a distance, he truly seems like a professor that was at least as interested in educating the next generation as he was making his own discoveries.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've never seen that anywhere - across like 4 or 5 different universities and three countries. Even if it had happened why would it be at anything other than the end of the year or maybe semester for a single semester course?
I've seen it once (and well earned) - Imre Leader at the end of a one term course.

His lectures on linear algebra are very high quality. 61 years in any role is unimaginable by todays standards.

I was a TA for many classes during my Physics PhD program, and this bit of clapping was a singular occurrence, in the middle of the semester. I’ve never been a course lecturer though, that was always for faculty.
