Just FYI, for an additional datapoint…
Of the 18 students who posted in the Jan 16-18 batch (all but one of which appeared to be from a Spanish-language variant of the COM 302 Python course), none of them have posted anything further since then, and all have read times from <1 to 25 minutes, most in the single digit range. The apparent odd one out was a student who did have one other post—another previous welcome from a different academic period, which suggests they either had to retake the course, or there are multiple courses that require this.
Indeed. We have no replies yet from the handful of most recent student posters; I can message a bunch more, but perhaps it would be more productive to just reach out directly via the phone or email to the Computer Science department chair (Dr. Van Nguyen, as listed in the St. Leo directory) which is the department sponsoring the COM 302 Python course that it seems many of the students have mentioned taking, who can direct us to the appropriate faculty to talk to. I plan to do so Monday if I don’t hear anything else back before that which would suggest someone more specific to talk to.
