Course Evaluation template
An end-of-term course evaluation that respects students' time: one matrix rates content, instructor clarity, pace, materials, and grading in a single interaction, followed by a star rating, a recommendation question, and one open question about what to change. Anonymous by default — there is no name or email field anywhere in it.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A college department running standardized evaluations across four courses from one form, with the course picked from a dropdown
- A continuing-education program surveying each cohort as the term closes
- A bootcamp or online academy comparing instructor clarity scores across sections
- A high school piloting student voice surveys before adopting them school-wide
Tips to get more from it
- The matrix covers five aspects of the course on one screen — students finish in the promised five questions, which is why completion stays high. Add rows sparingly.
- The course dropdown lets one form serve a whole department; filter the CSV export by that column to build per-course reports.
- "Yes, with caveats" as a middle recommendation option captures the honest lukewarm answer that a plain yes/no forces into a false positive.
- The single change question ("what would most improve the course?") produces more usable feedback than a general comments box — one concrete suggestion per student.
Questions people ask
Are the evaluations really anonymous?
Yes — the template collects no identifying fields. If you need section-level detail without identifying students, add a section dropdown rather than a name field.
How do instructors see their results?
Responses can be viewed in the dashboard or exported as CSV, filtered by the course dropdown, and shared after grades post — the workflow the template's ending screen describes.
Can I run evaluations for more courses than the four listed?
Yes, the course list is a dropdown you can extend to any length in the field editor, or duplicate the form per department to keep exports separate.
