This all sounds very strange to me. If there is a supervisor—but all they do is use a carrot and a stick—then I think that would generally be classified as reinforcement learning. Supervised learning is where the learner gets given the correct outputs—or is told the right answers.

I’m saying that applying carrot/stick is equivalent to saying yes/no.
I deleted the whole paragraph about supervised/unsupervised, since it contributed nothing and was obviously a distraction.
