That’s fine. I’d rather have no honorarium outright than have people ghost me and still receive no honorarium. That way, my expectations are set beforehand.
We’re adults here. I get that life happens, but the least you could do is keep me informed. If you don’t send me a message beforehand or after explaining why you couldn’t make it to my class, then that says a lot.
I spend a lot of time working on class material and lectures. Would it be fair to my students if I decided to not show up and give no explanation or email?
