I have been giving most of my TMA feedback by video recently and this seems to encourage more students to contact me (mainly by email). I think this is a very positive phenomenon as it helps us make contact and learn more about each other.
I also had an email from a student yesterday informing me that her daughter would be in the room during the tutorial. This was helpful as it made me aware that the student would be trying hard but there might be distractions. In reality, it seems that it all went well from her point of view and that her daughter even listened in and was happy when her mother answered questions correctly. I suppose being aware a child was in the room could have affected some of the content if it had been in any way distressing but that was not the case yesterday (and is not really an issue in any of my tutorials I can think of but could be if a tutor teaches other subject).
