I’m afraid that as far as I’ve found, that plug-in doesn’t exist. You can look at the automated awards in the CubePoints system as well–look under both the buddypress settings and the main settings–and see if you can find something close to what you want. You can also use the karma feature in plug-ins that allow rating posts and make that another public attribute to reward people for positive feedback. Don’t worry if you can’t automate something for class purposes though, you can always set it as an admin-given award that you would ideally code a solution for later if the site went more public.
