Abstract
Overall, students have evaluated the tutoring processes at the Virtuelle Fachhochschule—Virtual University of Applied Sciences—positively. The interviewees, however, gave very different opinions, which varied with the individual needs of the student. The fields in which our tutoring was offered (including social, professional, technical and organisational aspects) and other crucial factors (i.e. response times of tutors) received diverse ratings. The variety of these responses was summed up in proposals for improvement, which, among others, suggested more flexible communication, tutoring and doctrine. Furthermore, a stronger integration of a conventional academic doctrine was suggested.
