I have had a number of students come to my class when they should be elsewhere. Yesterday one came when she was meant to be at the SSC because she felt more comfortable talking to me than the people at the SSC as we have built a relationship. I let Lynda at the SSC know and she was happy with me to talk to the student in question.
I think the relationship I have is due to my trying for a mix between getting them to do their work, and learn Science, but at the same time I try not to be judgemental about what they tell me. I point out that what they are doing may not lead them to where they need to be, but I don't try and force the issue with them. It's very much an approach where I try and steer them in the direction that I think they need to go, but without being pushy.
