Computer Science Student Survey Template
This computer science student survey template asks adult learners about confidence, help-seeking, encouragement, connection, and practical barriers during one program term. Use the answers to choose one support improvement for the next term.
This computer science student survey template asks adult learners about confidence, help-seeking, encouragement, connection, and practical barriers during one program term. Use the answers to choose one support improvement for the next term.
Computer science students can understand the material yet still struggle to ask for help, find encouragement, or feel connected to the program. This seven-question template keeps those experiences separate so a program team can see where support is working and where students need a clearer route forward.
When to Use This Computer Science Student Survey
Use this survey near the end of a named term with adult students across a computer science or software engineering program. It reviews the wider program experience rather than one instructor or module. For feedback about teaching, materials, pace, and workload in one class, use the course evaluation template.

How to Customize This Computer Science Student Survey
Name the program and term in the introduction, and replace "teaching staff or mentors" with the roles students actually meet. Keep a no-contact answer for students who did not seek support. If a specific online module is under review, use the digital learning template instead. Do not ask students to identify classmates, disclose grades, or describe protected characteristics in open text.
Printable computer science student survey template
Use the printable computer science student survey during a program review meeting or in a classroom where some students prefer paper or are less comfortable online. Print the same seven optional questions and provide enough space for the two written answers. Explain where to return completed forms and who will review them. Paper answers require separate review or manual entry; they are not automatically added to online responses.

How to Use the Answers
Review confidence, help-seeking, encouragement, and connection separately. A student can feel technically confident but still lack a comfortable route to support. Compare the stage-of-study groups only when there are enough responses to avoid exposing individuals, and treat written comments as context rather than proof of a program-wide pattern. Boman, Andersson, and Gomes de Oliveira (2024) reported that “role models and encouragement” were positive factors that strengthened belonging in their study. Read the software education study . It focused on women and non-binary software-engineering students at one Swedish university; it does not validate this questionnaire or establish that one intervention will work in every program.
Frequently asked questions
When should this survey be sent?
Send it after students have experienced teaching, peer interaction, and support routes during the named term. Use the same point in each term if you want comparable checkpoints.
Is this a technical skills test?
No. It asks about students’ experience of support and participation. Use course assessments or other appropriate evidence to evaluate technical learning.
Should the survey ask for gender?
Not by default. This starter does not collect demographic identity. Add demographic questions only when there is a clear, ethical purpose, adequate privacy protection, and a plan for small groups.
