Frequently Asked Questions
When should I send the exam feedback survey?
Send the survey within 24-48 hours after the exam while the experience is fresh. Avoid sending immediately after a difficult exam when emotions run high - give students a few hours to decompress first.
How can I ensure honest feedback about exam fairness?
The form is designed to be anonymous, which encourages honest responses. The matrix questions provide structured feedback that feels objective, while open-ended questions allow for detailed explanations.
What metrics should I focus on for exam improvement?
Focus on the fairness matrix scores and the gap between 'time needed' vs 'time given'. If many students report feeling unprepared despite studying, review your study materials. High stress with low fairness scores indicates exam redesign is needed.
How do I interpret conflicting feedback?
Look for patterns in the data. If high-performing students find the exam fair while others don't, consider if the exam favors certain learning styles. The conditional follow-up questions help identify specific issues based on student experiences.
Can I customize this for different exam types?
Yes, the template works for midterms, finals, quizzes, and practical exams. Adjust the time and preparation questions based on exam length. For practical exams, you might add questions about equipment or lab conditions.
