The answer

Mentioning diligence in study is not considered backbiting, because it is neither a flaw nor disliked. Backbiting is mentioning a person with a disliked defect that is present in them. If it is not present in them, then it is a slander (buhtan). Backbiting only occurs with specific identification, or when the listeners know who the speaker is talking about.
