Compliance checklist
- Payment items priced — passingEvery payment question charges a real amount, so a submission always records a payment.
- Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
- Financial disclaimer present — passingThis form does not provide financial, tax or legal advice. Any figures shown are indicative only and are not an offer of credit or a guarantee of terms. Please seek advice from a regulated adviser before making a decision.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

Who this template is for
Course Evaluation Form is built for schools, tutors and course providers who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place.
- Schools, tutors and course providers working in education & schools.
- Teams who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing consent forms chased on paper the week before term with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are students, parents and staff — the form asks them 16 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of consent forms chased on paper the week before term and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
- It measures sentiment on a numeric scale.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Did the course teach what was promised?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “What was missing?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Did the course teach what was promised?” is No, “What was missing?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Overall rating” is less than 3, the form dynamically exposes “Would you like staff to follow up?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
An end-of-course evaluation has to answer three separate questions without exhausting a student who has just finished their assessments: was the course well built, was it well taught, and did it deliver what the prospectus promised. This template gives each its own page. Difficulty and workload are asked as three-way judgements rather than ratings, because a course being too easy is a real finding and a rating scale hides it. Teaching is split into clarity, responsiveness, materials and pace, so a strong subject expert who never answers email is visible in the data instead of averaged away. The outcomes page is where accreditation and marketing both get their evidence: whether the promise was kept, what was most valuable, and a recommendation score you can quote. Answering "no" to the promise question forces a specific explanation, and a poor overall rating offers a follow-up conversation. Names stay optional throughout, which is what keeps the answers usable.
What this form asks
Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

How the form changes as it's filled in
This template ships with 3 conditional rules, grouped into 3 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.
Driven by “Did the course teach what was promised?”
- Reveals questions
If “Did the course teach what was promised?” is No, the form reveals “What was missing?”.
- Makes answers required
If “Did the course teach what was promised?” is No, “What was missing?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
Driven by “Overall rating”
- Reveals questions
If “Overall rating” is less than 3, the form reveals “Would you like staff to follow up?”.
Set it up step by step
- 1
Run it before results are published
Evaluations completed after grades arrive correlate with the grade, not the course.
- 2
Keep it anonymous and say so
State on the first screen that the name field is optional; response quality rises immediately.
- 3
Compare cohorts, not courses
The same course across two terms is a fair comparison; two different subjects rarely are.
- 4
Close the loop publicly
Publish the three changes you made because of last term's evaluations before you send this term's.
Mistakes to avoid
- Asking for a student number "for administration", which quietly turns an anonymous evaluation into an attributable one.
- Rating difficulty on a five-point scale, so you cannot tell whether the course was too easy or too hard.
- Collecting evaluations every term and never telling students what changed as a result.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Aggregate the ratings per cohort, share teaching scores privately with each instructor, and log promised changes against the next intake.

Frequently asked questions
Should course evaluations be anonymous?
Almost always. This form keeps the name optional and only asks for contact when a student requests follow-up.
How many questions is too many?

Can I evaluate the instructor separately?
Yes — the Instructor Evaluation Form covers preparation, fairness and availability in more depth than the four teaching questions here.
Does it work for short online courses?
Yes. For a single session, the shorter Class Evaluation Form is usually a better fit.

Yes. You can preview and test Course Evaluation Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
