Only the contact lessons will provide the appropriate feedback. In case you would like to study on-line only, you have to rely mostly on your own skills and will never be provided with the "flame war" seminar discussions that could hugely help to improve your translation skills and feelings.
No feedback could be provided by e-mails. Should you need the feedback for your future job, then it is a must to come to the contact lessons.
