It is traditional to give flowers to a 'profesor bun' on the first and last day of school. This is a sign of deep respect.

In Romanian universities, students often use 'profesor bun' to describe those who are fair in grading, not just those who teach well. The 'profesor bun' was often the only educated person in a village who could help people write letters or understand laws.
