results support the generalizability of Doebling et al.’s findings. We too observed that womenstudents attended office hours more frequently than men. Similarly, we observed that URM statusdid not have a statistically significant association with office hours usage.5.2 LimitationsOne limitation of our study is that we cannot disentangle remote learning from the pandemic. Asa result, the pandemic could have caused interesting student behaviors without affecting usagepatterns. Because remote learning was immediately adopted following the onset of the pandemic,we cannot separate how remote learning and pandemic onset interacted in our final results.An example of possible interference would be if pandemic onset caused widespread mental
