Course feedback questionnaire
A 12-item end-of-course questionnaire separating clarity of teaching, workload fit and perceived usefulness.
"Use this template" opens the Psych Lab builder with this brief pre-filled — you review and edit every item before it goes out.
Response scale
1–5 agreement scale, scored as a mean per subscale.
- 1Strongly disagree
- 2Disagree
- 3Neither
- 4Agree
- 5Strongly agree
Items (12)
Items marked reverse are flipped before scoring with new = (max + min) − raw.
| # | Item | Subscale | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The learning goals for this course were clear to me. | Clarity | Direct |
| 2 | Explanations were easy to follow. | Clarity | Direct |
| 3 | I was often unsure what I was supposed to be learning. | Clarity | Reverse |
| 4 | Materials were well organised and easy to find. | Clarity | Direct |
| 5 | The amount of work was reasonable for the time available. | Workload | Direct |
| 6 | The pace was too fast for me to keep up. | Workload | Reverse |
| 7 | Deadlines were spaced sensibly. | Workload | Direct |
| 8 | I had to rush work I would rather have done properly. | Workload | Reverse |
| 9 | I can apply what I learned outside this course. | Usefulness | Direct |
| 10 | The assessments reflected what was actually taught. | Usefulness | Direct |
| 11 | Much of the content felt irrelevant to me. | Usefulness | Reverse |

Score ranges
Needs work
1.0 – 2.4This dimension is dragging the course experience down; review the lowest-scoring items first.
Acceptable
2.5 – 3.7Broadly working, with clear room to improve. Compare against previous cohorts if you have them.
Strong
3.8 – 5.0Learners rate this dimension well. Keep the structure that produced it.
How to score and run it
- Score each subscale as the mean of its items so a strong topic cannot mask a workload problem.
- Reverse-score the negatively worded items before averaging.
- Collect it once at the end and, if possible, once mid-course so you can act while it still matters.
This is a self-report questionnaire template for feedback and reflection. It is not a clinical or diagnostic instrument, and scores should not be used to make decisions about an individual on their own.
