Like you said, especially for peak times it might be necessary. I’ve always resisted that option, but you’re right, it may become an important option if this calendar crunch continues.

I’m not sure if it’s something that you can do for this semester, but may be next semester you could think about scheduling office hours – an hour or two a couple of times a week when students can drop in, at least during those peak times that students need help.

If no one shows, you can be working on something, and if someone shows with something intense, you can maybe get them started/get past their sticking point and then schedule them a full appointment later.

Of course, so says the one who doesn’t do this, but can already foresee a time when perhaps she should.
