Course Evaluation Form
This comprehensive course evaluation form helps educational institutions collect meaningful student feedback. The form uses proven assessment frameworks including Likert scales for attitude measurement, matrix questions for multi-aspect evaluation, and NPS for recommendation tracking. Students rate course content organization, instructor effectiveness, appropriate workload level, and learning outcomes achieved. Conditional logic shows improvement-focused questions for dissatisfied students. Suitable for universities, colleges, corporate training, online courses, and professional development programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I send course evaluations to students?
Best practice is to send evaluations during the last 1-2 weeks of the course, before final exams. This ensures students have experienced most of the content but are still engaged. For self-paced courses, trigger the survey at 80-90% completion.
How do I ensure honest student feedback?
Guarantee anonymity and communicate this clearly. Explain how feedback is used to improve future courses. Avoid sending evaluations right before grades are released. Consider having a neutral party collect responses.
What is a good response rate for course evaluations?
Response rates typically range from 30-60%. Increase participation by sending reminders, keeping surveys under 10 minutes, explaining the impact of feedback, and allowing completion during class time.
How should I interpret the Likert scale results?
Calculate mean scores for each question. Scores above 4.0 (on 1-5 scale) are typically considered positive. Compare scores across courses and terms to track trends. Pay attention to standard deviation - high variance may indicate inconsistent experiences.
Can I customize the evaluation criteria?
Yes, all aspects are customizable. Add discipline-specific questions, adjust rating scales, include questions about specific assignments or resources, and tailor the matrix questions to your institution's evaluation framework.
How do I handle negative instructor feedback?
Share feedback constructively with instructors as part of professional development. Focus on actionable improvements rather than criticism. Consider using feedback as one of multiple evaluation sources alongside peer observation and self-reflection.
