Frequently asked questions

Should this form be anonymous?

For honest feedback, anonymous evaluations generally produce more candid results. Remove the student name field and disable 'Collect email addresses' in Google Forms settings. Inform students the form is anonymous to increase response rates.

How do I share results with the instructor?

Export responses to Google Sheets and share a filtered view for their specific course. Use the FILTER function or a pivot table to create an instructor-specific summary tab. Share only that tab — not the full response sheet — to protect respondent identities.

Can I run evaluations for multiple courses with one form?

Yes. Add 'Course Name' and 'Instructor Name' as required fields (or dropdowns) so students self-identify which course they're evaluating. Filter the Google Sheets response data by course to generate per-course reports.

How do I increase student response rates?

Share the form during the last class session or embed it in your LMS. Offer an incentive where appropriate (extra credit, end-of-session time). Keep the form under 5 minutes to complete. Frame it as helping future students.

When should I share the form with students?

The last week of the course is optimal — students have full context but are still engaged. Avoid the exam period when motivation to complete surveys drops significantly. For multi-week online courses, send at the end of each module for ongoing feedback.

How do results feed into curriculum improvement?

Review average ratings and open-text feedback after each term. Look for consistent patterns across cohorts (e.g. 'workload too heavy' rated by 60% of students) rather than one-off comments. Share summaries with department heads to inform curriculum planning for the next academic year.
