This university teaching assistant evaluation survey template asks students about explanations, feedback, and opportunities to ask questions. Use it to identify specific support practices a teaching assistant can improve.

Teaching assistants may lead labs, discussion groups, tutorials or office hours. This SurveyLegend questionnaire keeps feedback tied to the role students actually experienced, rather than treating the assistant as responsible for every part of a course.

When to use this survey

Use it after students have had enough contact with the named teaching assistant to give useful feedback. Explain who reviews the responses and when the assistant will receive them. For curriculum, workload or course-wide organization, use a separate course evaluation .

Customize your university teaching assistant evaluation survey

Name one assistant, the review period and the activities within that person’s role. Remove or adapt questions about responsibilities they do not have. Keep “did not receive” options instead of forcing students to judge an experience they never had. Follow the institution’s process for separating optional feedback from grading.

Printable university teaching assistant evaluation survey template

Use the same named assistant and reference period on the blank questionnaire. Arrange private collection through an appropriate person or return point. Do not ask students to hand an identifiable critical response directly to the person who grades their work. State where completed questionnaires should be returned and who will review them. Paper answers require separate review or manual entry and are not automatically added to online responses.

How to use the answers

Look for specific teaching behaviors in the comments and consider which responsibilities the assistant controls. Group open-ended data into explanations, examples, feedback and access. Student ratings describe perceptions; use other appropriate evidence before drawing conclusions about teaching effectiveness or making employment decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Should students evaluate the whole course here?

Keep this version focused on the teaching assistant’s actual responsibilities. Use a course evaluation for course-wide design and workload.

What if the assistant does not grade assignments?

Remove or replace the feedback question with one about support the assistant actually provides. Update all versions of the questionnaire consistently.

Can ratings alone determine teaching quality?

They are one source of feedback. Interpret them with role, context and other appropriate teaching evidence.
