A verb to mean "taking into account only a few people's opinion on behalf of the entire group/class". The other people are not even asked for their opinion. Just few opinion is considered as opinion of all.

@Rover_KE - I'm not sure what happened with post #4. You've quoted the same post three times but haven't added anything. Glitch?

Note my corrections above. I can't think of a verb that has that rather convoluted meaning.

I don't think there is a word to describe the whole scenario. Why would you want to express it in just one word?
The words I can think of are "prejudging/ biased/not being objective/judging based on unrepresentative opinions". I think it can only be expressed in fewer words than you described

A class consists of (not contains) 30 students.

Cherry-picking might work there. It's not an exact match, but cherry-pick can mean to pay attention to or act on the opinion that you happen to agree with, even if it is the opinion of only a minority.

You are describing an unrepresentative sample.
