Period.
If you want to log students' landings for some other purpose (I'm not sure why, but for some reason some CFIs want to), differentiate them in some way so the FAA never has to question whether you were falsifying your logbook.
This guy is correct. Be careful that you do not end up using student landings for currency. Basically only one person can log any given landing. If you use a dual-given landing for currency, the FAA might go look at your student's logbook...that same landing had better NOT be in his book too
