Course evaluation form
A course evaluation form gathers structured feedback at the END of a course — instructor and content ratings, what worked, what could improve — distinct from course-enrollment-form, which is about JOINING a course. The email field is optional; leaving it blank is how a student stays anonymous, without a separate anonymous-mode feature.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Rating scales beat open-ended comments alone
Structured 1–5 ratings give you comparable scores you can track over time; open-ended feedback explains the "why" behind a low score.
Optional email field handles anonymity naturally
Students who want recognition provide an email; those who want candour leave it blank — one form serves both, with no separate anonymous mode.
No card required.

Live previewHow to build this form
5 steps in the editor. Nothing here needs a paid plan.
- Add a text field for the course name or code, so feedback is tied to a specific course.
- Add a rating field for the instructor and a second rating field for content quality.
- Add a textarea asking what worked well.
- Add a textarea asking what could improve.
- Make the email field optional, so students can leave it blank to stay anonymous.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a course evaluation form, not general advice about forms.
Asking for ratings without an open-ended follow-up
A rating tells you the score; an open textarea tells you why. Ask both — the textarea response rate will be lower than the ratings, which is normal.
No course name field
Without it you cannot tell which course or instructor the feedback is about once you have several evaluations in hand. Always ask for the course name or code.
Requiring an email for feedback
A mandatory email field lowers completion and candour on weak-instruction feedback. Make it optional to get more honest and more numerous responses.
Questions about this form
Should course evaluations be anonymous?
Make the email field optional. Students who provide it get follow-up if needed; those who leave it blank stay anonymous. One form handles both preferences.
What ratings should I ask for?
Instructor quality and content quality are the two that matter most. Keep to two rating fields; more scales increase abandonment without adding useful signal.
When should I send the evaluation?
At the end of the course, before students disperse — a link in a closing email or a QR code on the last slide catches more responses than sending it a week later.
