How do I know if we materially participate on our schdC if it wasn't a business?

Husband is an optometrist/optometry professor.  He taught a class at a convention.  They pd him by check and we received a 1099misc.  Turbotax put that information onto a schdC.  It wants to know the business code (I'm guessing 61100 or 999999?), the accounting method for his business (cash or other?) and if he materially participated.  He doesn't have a business.  He has taught a class at this convention before, but I don't remember answering some of these questions before and we've always received and filed a 1099misc.  I researched materially participated...it doesn't look like yes or no.  I'm so confused!  Thank you so much for your time!
