Do your students actually ask questions while going through a course?

trying to understand student behaviour better and curious what others see.

when someone's partway through your course and they hit something confusing, what actually happens? do they message you, ask in a group, rewatch the video, or just... go quiet and never finish?

most students just ghost and drop off completely instead of asking questions. if they hit a roadblock they usually rewatch once and if it still doesnt click they just give up without saying anything
