But for the student, it has the advantage of being recorded. Students often dont "hear" what we say to them, dont take notes well, forget, misunderstand in the "heat of the moment", etc etc.
Anyway, there is no perfect way of dealing with anything :-))

Hi,
We give e-guidance here at Brunel, particularly for those students who study at a distance, or simply live very far away from the university. I tend to use the 'tracking' and 'highlight' function in MS Word, which is useful because you can simply add comments. I do agree with Ann, though, it is particularly time consuming, and I feel that much more can be said when you are face-to-face with the student. Having said that, I can refer students onto other guidance online which I feel ties in with the email quite nicely.
