  • 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

Instructor 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 13 questions across 1 screen.
  • 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.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • 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 “Overall rating” is less than 3, the form dynamically exposes “Specific incident to review”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Overall rating” is less than 3, “Specific incident to review” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Availability outside class” is less than 3, the form dynamically exposes “Preferred contact channel”. 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

Teaching reviews go wrong when they collapse into a popularity score, so this form separates the five things an institution can actually act on: whether the instructor arrived prepared, whether they know the subject, whether they explain it clearly, whether grading felt fair, and whether they were reachable outside the room. Fairness and availability are the two that rarely appear on generic feedback forms and are the two that most often explain a struggling cohort. Strengths are required before areas to improve, which reliably produces more specific and less hostile criticism. A poor overall rating reveals a required prompt for a concrete incident, so a serious concern arrives with detail attached rather than as a bare one-star. Low availability scores reveal a preferred contact channel question, which often solves the problem outright. The form suits both student-facing reviews and peer observation; the course evaluation covers content, and this one covers the person delivering it.

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 “Overall rating

  • Reveals questions

    If “Overall rating” is less than 3, the form reveals “Specific incident to review”.

  • Makes answers required

    If “Overall rating” is less than 3, “Specific incident to review” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Availability outside class

  • Reveals questions

    If “Availability outside class” is less than 3, the form reveals “Preferred contact channel”.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Populate the instructor dropdown properly

    Replace the placeholder names with your real staff list so responses group without manual tidying.

  2. 2

    Review scores in context

    Compare an instructor against their own previous terms before comparing them to a colleague teaching a different subject.

  3. 3

    Escalate incident answers immediately

    Anything appearing in the incident box belongs with a manager the same day, not in a term-end summary.

  4. 4

    Share the strengths too

    Instructors act on criticism far more readily when the positive answers arrive with it.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Publishing individual instructor scores to students, which invites gaming and defensive teaching.
  • Reviewing only when there is a complaint, so there is no baseline to compare against.
  • Omitting fairness and availability, then wondering why the scores never explain a cohort's frustration.

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

Discuss each instructor's scores privately in their review, escalate incident reports to a manager immediately, and track fairness and availability term on term.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the instructor evaluation form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Frequently asked questions

Can this be used for peer observation?

Yes. The same five criteria work for an observing colleague; only the instructor dropdown needs adjusting.

Should responses be anonymous?

For student reviews, yes. There is no name field here, which is what makes the fairness question answerable honestly.

How often should we run it?

Once per course per term is standard. More frequent reviews suit the Class Evaluation Form instead.

What if an incident is reported?

Treat it as a complaint under your existing process — the form is a collection point, not a substitute for one.

Yes. You can preview and test Instructor 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.
