Run end-of-course evaluations without expensive survey software. This template asks the questions that improve teaching: how the content landed, how the instructor performed, whether the pace was right, and what students would change for next time.
A course evaluation is the bridge between teaching one cohort and improving the next. The questions you ask determine what you can act on — vague feedback like "the course was good" doesn't help anyone, but specific feedback about pace, clarity, and content match gives you a clear list of changes to make before the next session.
This template focuses on the questions that produce actionable feedback. The overall rating gives you a headline number. The content-match question reveals whether the course delivered on its description, which is critical for online courses where students decide based on a sales page. The instructor effectiveness, pace, and clarity questions are the operational ratings — they tell you how to teach better, not just whether students were happy. The recommendation question is the strongest leading indicator of word-of-mouth growth. And the open-ended fields surface specific suggestions you'd never get from rating scales alone.
formformform makes course evaluations free and unlimited, which matters for educators running multiple courses or sessions. Embed the form in your LMS, link it from a course wrap-up page, or send by email at the end of the term. Every response lands in your dashboard where you can review individual feedback or export the whole set to look for patterns. For instructors who want to improve every cohort, it's the simplest tool that does the job.
