vw that all makes sense to me. You're having trouble juggling students so you'd like to introduce a new system. Students who have already seen you can make appointments via email, new students can sign up on Monday for an open slot, or on the back of the sheet if all slots are full. It's very informal in tone, did you want help making it more professional or were you just making sure it was clear?
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Happy Anniversary Nora & Tom!
Sean, lots of ~ma for your mom.
vw, it looks fine, but since I've seen you write a number of times that you've had no-show students, I really think you need a plan for dealing with them, too.

I mostly just wanted to make sure it's clear. I'm not worried about it being formal. We have a very good working relationship.

Oh, yeah. I didn't mention that, but I'm going to let them know about the "three strikes you're out policy" that the university has. If they skip three times, they don't get tutoring from academic support for *any* subject. I didn't mention that in the e-mail, because I know she'll be supportive of that. Actually, if she finds out how many people have skipped, she's gonna be on their asses. So, I'd rather just deal with that myself.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Suzi - yes start looking even if you don't know. apply for thing both above and below. consider this time to explore. The worst that happens is you figure something out.
looks like a plan to me , vw. -- but I might not count the no shows as those that get to schedule by email.
ION, I have had a low level headache since Wednesday night.Make it go away.

As someone who teaches students at a graduate level, when some of them still haven't learned how to keep an appointment (or how to cancel one, for that matter), I can't make myself believe this is a bad thing.

Well, yes and no. She threatened to count it as one of their class absences if they miss a tutoring appointment. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that, so I'd rather confront the issue on my terms. Hopefully that makes sense.
