Paying Guest Instructors

Hey all,

Out of curiousity, if you invited a Guest Instructor to come help run a class or grading. How much would you reimburse them for their time?

Would you pay them their hourly rate, or something else?

It depends, obviously, on the circumstances. If they have an hourly rate, I would definitely pay them that. No need to negotiate something that they have already figured out for me. If they do not, and I've never hosted a guest that I had to pay, they all volunteered so take this with a grain of salt, I think I would start around $100, depending on the depth and length of time. If they feel that their time is worth more, then we can negotiate from there.
