Sometimes students are reluctant to discuss course$-$related questions and concerns with their faculty. There can be several, and often understandable, reasons for this.

For example, students may justify not speaking up because they think it could be a waste of time, and that it may not make a difference anyway. Other times, they might fear they could personally be negativity impacted in some way.

This can happen even though students are feeling stressed because of the uncertainty they have about the course, or when a student observes others engaging in unethical or concerning behavior they strongly disagree with, and know the faculty is unaware of$.$

It can also happen even when they "like" their faculty, believe they are approachable, and know they would want to know about it$.$

Meanwhile, when faculty encourage questions and feedback and receive few, they are under the impression that $"$no news is good news."

What is this an example of$?$
