Learning-focused course evaluation questions

Eight open questions that ask how the course design helped students learn

Question bank of eight learning-focused course evaluation questions in three themes: what helped you learn, goals and assessment, and workload
Questions that ask how the course helped students learn, not how the teacher performed

A reusable bank of eight open questions for course evaluations that focus on student learning and course design instead of rating the teacher. It follows Kristina Edström's argument that evaluation should sit alongside learning outcomes, activities and assessment. Programme directors and quality officers can drop these into an end-of-course survey or interview and use the answers in a course analysis. In Koji, each question can be followed up automatically so students explain their answers.

What's in this question bank

What helped you learn

  1. Which part of the course helped you learn the most, and why?
  2. Which activity felt like the least useful use of your time?
  3. Where did you get stuck, and what got you unstuck?

Goals and assessment

  1. Did you know what you should be able to do by the end of the course?
  2. Did the assessment test what the course said it would teach?
  3. Did the weekly work prepare you for the assessment?

Workload and next run

  1. Roughly how many hours a week did you spend on this course?
  2. What one change would help next year's students learn more?
