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.
- Legal text not required — passingThis template collects neither health nor regulated financial information.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.
What happens after submit: nothing is stored in this preview. On your own copy, every response triggers an instant email notification and lands in your response dashboard, ready to export or forward.

Who this template is for
Course Evaluation Survey 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 11 questions across 2 screens.
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.
- 3 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 2 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 conditional validation: if “How was the workload?” is Far too heavy, “What would you change?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “How was the workload?” is Far too light, “What would you change?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “May we quote your feedback anonymously?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What worked well?”. 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
Course evaluations fail when they ask twenty questions and get read by nobody. This one is short on purpose and mixes the two kinds of answer a department actually uses. The rating questions — overall quality, clarity of teaching, usefulness of the materials — give you numbers that can be compared across terms and cohorts, which is what a head of department needs. The workload question uses a five-point too light to too heavy scale rather than a satisfaction rating, because workload is a calibration problem, not an opinion. A nought-to-ten recommendation score gives a single headline figure you can track. Then two open questions, what worked well and what would you change, which is where the actionable material always is. A final question asks permission to quote the feedback anonymously, so the good lines can be used in course materials without anyone having to ask afterwards. Keep it anonymous, run it in the last teaching week rather than after results, and response rates hold up.

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 “How was the workload?”
- Makes answers required
If “How was the workload?” is Far too heavy, “What would you change?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
- Makes answers required
If “How was the workload?” is Far too light, “What would you change?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
Driven by “May we quote your feedback anonymously?”
- Reveals questions
If “May we quote your feedback anonymously?” is Yes, the form reveals “What worked well?”.
Set it up step by step
- 1
Copy it per course
Duplicate for each course and pre-fill the course title and term so the data groups cleanly.
- 2
Keep it anonymous
Do not add a name question. Anonymity is what makes the open comments worth reading.
- 3
Run it in the last teaching week
Before results, not after — feedback collected after grades measures the grade.
- 4
Publish what changed
Tell the next cohort what the last one changed. It is the only reliable way to lift response rates.
Mistakes to avoid
- Asking twenty questions, which halves the response rate and doubles the analysis.
- Running the survey after results are published, which contaminates every answer.
- Collecting feedback and never reporting back, after which students stop replying.
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
Compare the rating averages against previous terms, pull the open comments into your course review, and tell the next cohort what changed.

Frequently asked questions
What questions should a course evaluation ask?
A few comparable ratings, one workload calibration question, a recommendation score and two open questions. Anything else is usually analysed once and never again.
Should evaluations be anonymous?
Yes, for teaching feedback. Anonymity is what produces the comments worth acting on.
How do we get a decent response rate?
Run it in class time, keep it under three minutes, and show the previous cohort's changes at the top.
Can we compare terms?
Yes — the term question and the fixed rating scales let you group and compare submissions directly.
