About course evaluation

Course feedback and course evaluation, in one place

Course evaluation, sometimes called course feedback, helps educators understand the student learning experience. By collecting feedback on instruction, course materials, assignments, organization, and learning outcomes, course evaluations provide useful evidence for improving teaching, strengthening course design, and supporting better student success.

What course evaluation answers

The questions a course evaluation is built to answer

A good course evaluation gives instructors and programs honest, usable evidence about how a course supported learning, where students struggled, and what would make the next term stronger.

What worked well in the course?

Which lectures, activities, and discussions students found most useful, and which moments raised their understanding the most.

Were assignments and readings helpful?

Whether the workload, sequencing, and difficulty of assignments and readings supported the learning goals or pulled against them.

Was the instructor clear and organized?

Whether expectations, grading, and pacing were communicated clearly, and whether students could follow the structure of the course.

Did students feel supported?

Whether students felt comfortable asking questions, received timely feedback, and had a fair path to get help when they needed it.

Did the course meet its learning goals?

Whether students believe they can do the things the syllabus said they would be able to do by the end of the term.

What would improve the course?

Specific changes students would make, with enough open-ended room to surface things the closed-ended items missed.

What course evaluation measures

Three families of measures, each doing different work

A solid course evaluation pulls from three measurement families. Each family answers a different question and earns its place on the instrument.

1 · Student learning experience

How students experienced the course

Items that capture the student-side experience of being in the course week by week.

  • Clarity of learning objectives and expectations
  • Pace of the course and balance of workload
  • Quality of feedback on assignments
  • Sense of being supported when struggling
  • Engagement with class activities and discussions
2 · Learning outcome

Whether students learned what the course intended

Items that connect student perception to the actual learning outcomes printed on the syllabus.

  • Confidence in each stated learning outcome
  • Ability to apply concepts to new problems
  • Mastery of key skills, frameworks, or vocabulary
  • Preparedness for the next course in the sequence
  • Self-reported gain from start of term to end of term
3 · Instructor and course improvement

What to revise next term

Open-ended and targeted items that turn feedback into a revision list the instructor can act on.

  • What worked, kept exactly as is
  • What to drop or simplify
  • What was missing that should be added
  • Balance between lectures, discussions, and assignments
  • Specific moments where students felt lost
