Course Feedback Form

Main content start

The Course Feedback Form consists of a customizable section and a standard set of questions that are automatically added to every course and cannot be edited or removed. Instructors can choose to add their own customized questions, as described below. If no custom questions are added, students will receive the standard set of questions. 

You can view the standard questions as they appear on the feedback form in this PDF: Standard End-Term Feedback Questions

When customizing your questions, consider questions that reflect your teaching situation or approaches. These can give you the best potential feedback. To limit survey fatigue and maximize response quality, we recommend adding no more than ten custom questions to your course feedback form. Instructor custom questions appear above the standard questions on the form and this placement cannot be changed.

See Customize Your Feedback for further instructions.
