Use the eight questions to identify what to keep and what to improve for the next group. Adapt the example to your course and create your evaluation with SurveyLegend. ## When to Use a Course Evaluation Survey Send this questionnaire to people who took the course. It asks about one course rather than the wider school or campus experience. Their answers can help you plan improvements, but feedback alone is not a test of how much someone learned. For broader feedback about the school experience, explore SurveyLegend’s [student satisfaction survey ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/student-satisfaction-survey-template/)template. **What worked in your course? Let students tell you.** Ask about teaching, materials, pace, and workload. Create your own course evaluation survey with SurveyLegend and start for free. ## 8 Course Evaluation Questions to Customize These questions cover learning goals, course organization, materials, explanations, pace, and workload. The two written-response questions help students identify what to keep and what to improve. Keep pace separate from workload: a course can move too quickly even when the amount of assigned work feels manageable. Try the survey ## A little feedback. A clearer picture. Explore this 8-question example at your own pace. Every question is optional.

Replace references to lessons with sessions, modules, or lectures as needed. Keep a not-applicable option for activities some students may not have experienced. Explain who will review responses and how the feedback will be used. For a self-paced course without an instructor, replace the instructor question with “How clear were the explanations in the course?” For an assignment-based course, you can add “How useful was the feedback on your assignments?” with a five-point scale from Not at all useful to Extremely useful, plus I did not receive assignment feedback. If you need an overall measure, add “Overall, how satisfied were you with this course?” with five balanced choices from Very dissatisfied to Very satisfied. Use that summary alongside the specific questions to decide what needs attention. ## Printable course evaluation survey template Use this printable course evaluation survey template to collect answers from people who prefer paper or are less comfortable with online forms.

If explanations are clear but the pace is too fast, consider where students need more practice or review time. If materials receive poor feedback, use written comments to identify the resources to examine. Keep “Not applicable” responses separate from ratings of materials or teaching. Group suggestions by theme, choose the changes you can make, and document what you will revisit for the next course. Use assessment results alongside feedback when evaluating learning outcomes. For example, if students describe a fast pace and name one difficult module, review that module’s sequence and practice activities before shortening the entire course. Choose one change, record why you made it, and ask the next group the same relevant questions. ## Frequently asked questions about course evaluation surveys ### When should I send a course evaluation? Send it when participants have experienced enough of the course to comment meaningfully. Use a consistent point near completion and explain the response deadline. ### Should I ask whether students liked the instructor? Ask about specific teaching experiences, such as clarity of explanations or usefulness of feedback. These answers give you more to work with than a general popularity rating. ### Can this be used for online courses? Yes. Adapt references to the delivery format. If you need feedback about the learning platform, ask about it separately from the course content. Survey Templates for Schools and Teachers 1.
