I need to consult and discuss

Before the need for remote teaching, probably few students had written an e-mail or came to your office during the consultation hours. The situation is different now. Students probably need more support and communication with teachers. You still need to lead students who work on bachelor or diploma theses. Try to get inspired by how teachers restructured their consulation hours.
