Just for the record: I ended up using Org to prepare a table with the
possible time slots, which was then printed and attached to a pinboard
near my room. Then, each student could come and write down his/her name
in a selected slot (with a pen).  This way, I solved the problem of
race conditions in (probably) the simplest possible way...

Best,
