What this course evaluation form asks, and why
The course and the person teaching it get separate star ratings, so a strong teacher isn't marked down for weak material, and the reverse. A pace question (too slow, about right, too fast) catches the most common complaint in one tap. Two open questions ask what was most useful and what students would change, and a final question asks whether they'd recommend the course to someone else. Only the ratings and pace are required. Send it in the last session or straight after, and compare results each time the course runs to see whether your changes worked.

The 6 questions it asks
In order, with their field types and why each one is there. Edit, reorder or delete any of them once it's yours.
- How would you rate the course itself?Star ratingRequired
Rates the material on its own. Kept separate from the teaching so a weak syllabus is not hidden behind a popular instructor.
- And the person teaching it?Star ratingRequired
Rates the person delivering it. Read alongside the course rating, the two numbers tell you which one to change.
- How was the pace?Multiple choice · Too slow, About right, Too fastRequired
Three plain options catch the most common complaint in any course. A cluster of 'too fast' answers points at specific weeks to revisit.
- What was most useful?Long textOptional
Tells you what to protect when you revise. Without it, the parts that work are the first to be cut for time.
- What would you change?Long textOptional
Singular on purpose: 'what would you change' gets one considered answer rather than a list of small grievances.
- Would you recommend it to someone else?Multiple choice · Yes, Maybe, NoOptional
A simple word-of-mouth signal. Useful for courses that recruit through former students or colleagues.

Ways to adapt it
Several modules at once
Add a dropdown at the start asking which module the response is for, then search the responses by module name to read each one separately.
Agreement statements
Replace the two ratings with a matrix of statements on an agreement scale if your institution uses a standard evaluation instrument.
A mid-course pulse
Cut it to the pace question and 'what would you change' and run it halfway through, while there is still time to adjust.
How to get good answers from a course evaluation form
- 1
Collect it before the last session ends
Give people five minutes in the final session rather than emailing a link afterwards. Response rates are far higher while everyone is still in the room.
- 2
Keep course and teacher separate in the report
When the two ratings move apart, the problem is in one of them. Averaging them into one score hides exactly that.
- 3
Ask the same questions every run
The value is in comparing cohorts. Change the wording and last term's numbers stop being a baseline.
- 4
Share what changed
Tell the next cohort what was changed because of the last evaluation. People give better feedback when they have seen it used.
After you publish
Where the responses go next
Close it when the course does
Set a closing date so late responses from the next cohort cannot mix into this one. Free on every plan.
Compare the two ratings
The dashboard breaks down each question's answers, so the course and teacher scores can be read side by side.
Pass it to whoever reviews the course
Export the responses to CSV for the course review, or on Pro send them straight to a shared Google Sheet.
Course Evaluation Form: common questions
Still deciding?
Rating, NPS, ranking and matrix questions, with completion analytics on every plan.
Why rate the course and the teacher separately?
Because they fail for different reasons. A strong teacher can carry weak material, and good material can be delivered badly. One combined score cannot tell you which one to fix.
Can course evaluations be anonymous?
Yes. The template asks for no name or email, and FormSnapp does not store an IP address with a response, so answers cannot be traced to a student.
When should I send a course evaluation?
In the last session, before people leave. Sent afterwards by email, response rates drop sharply and the answers skew towards the very happy and the very unhappy.
Can I use this for online courses?
Yes. Share the link in the final lesson, or embed the form on the course's completion page so every finishing student sees it.
How do I compare results between cohorts?
Keep the questions unchanged and run a fresh copy of the form for each cohort, or export each run to CSV and compare the averages side by side.
