I completely agree except when faced with the fact that I should be helping every student that walks into my office (especially in cases of registration) it's tough to juggle priorities. I may be looking at this differently because I see it from a program chair's perspective. I do agree that we shouldn't drop everything every time to fix someone's problem. My question is, where is the fine line between helping a student out immediately and asking them to schedule a future meeting when we're pushed to do anything and everything to help accommodate students, especially with registration?

Are we really in control of our time when in day to day situations, I'm faced with helping students that come to me with different problems that sometimes NEED immediate response? I find this very difficult to believe. I feel that if you are to do your job correctly, you need to solve problems as they occur.
