Classes and teaching survey questions

Class feedback that shows what to explain again next time

Ask students how a single class went, from how clear the teaching was to the part they want explained again. Each question below comes with when to ask it and what the answer tells you.

What class feedback survey questions tell you

Class feedback survey questions ask students about one session while it is still in their heads: how clear it was, whether the pace worked, what helped them follow and which part they lost. Asked often, they let a teacher fix a confusing topic in the next class instead of finding out at the end of term.

Ask in the last five minutes of class or within the hour after it. Show a QR code on the final slide or post the link on your course page, and keep it to three or four questions so students answer every week. Save the grid and the study hours for a fuller check once or twice a term.

Each written answer is read as it arrives and given a theme and a sentiment, so the topics students want explained again group together across the class. Results compares each card with the period before, which shows whether a change to the teaching moved the scores.

The 13 classes and teaching questions, with when to ask each

Grouped by what they tell you. Use them as they are or change the wording.

How the class went

A quick read on the session: how it felt, how clear it was and how much students followed. Ask two of these after every class.

  1. 01Emoji

    How did today's class feel?

    A row of faces for how the class felt. It takes one tap, so it suits a weekly check; Results shows the share for each face, and a drop after one session points at that day's topic.

  2. 02Stars

    How clear was the teaching?

    Rates how clear the teaching was, in stars. Read it next to the pace question: a low clarity score with Just right on pace means the explanation needs work and the speed is fine.

  3. 04Yes / No

    Did you understand the main topic?

    A plain check on the main topic. Results shows the share that said yes; select No to read which part those students want explained again.

  4. 08Slider

    How much of the class did you follow?

    A slider for how much of the class the student followed, in percent. Results shows the median and the middle half, which is fairer than an average when a few students were lost.

Pace and what to repeat

Use these to plan the start of the next class: what to slow down, what to explain again and how ready students feel for the homework.

  1. 03Multiple choice

    How was the pace of this class?

    Three options on speed for this class. A rising share on Too fast across several weeks often means the course is behind its plan and squeezing material in.

  2. 06Text

    Which part should be explained again?

    Asks which part should be explained again. Answers grouped by theme give you the opening ten minutes of the next class.

  3. 07Big scale

    How confident do you feel about the homework?

    How confident students feel about the homework, from 1 to 10. Results shows the average and a column per step; a cluster at the low end is a reason to add a worked example before the deadline.

How students learn best

These show which parts of the teaching do the work, so you can give them more of the next session.

  1. 05Matrix

    Rate the class on each

    Rates explanations, examples, materials and time for questions in one grid. The heat map shows which row pulls the class down, and row averages let you compare one term with the next.

  2. 09This or that

    You learn better with

    Two pairs: lectures or exercises, solo or group work. Results shows a split bar per pair, which helps when you plan how to divide the next session.

  3. 11Multiple choice

    What helped you most?

    Lets students pick everything that helped, from slides to recordings. Results shows bars with each share; keep Nothing in particular, so students aren't pushed into a choice.

The room, the week and the work

Practical questions on the classroom, study time and feedback on assignments, asked once or twice a term.

  1. 10Yes / No

    Was the classroom comfortable?

    A yes or no on the room itself, from seating to noise. A rising share of No is worth taking to facilities before it shows up in the clarity score.

  2. 12Number

    How many hours did you study this week?

    Hours of study this week, as a number. Results shows the median and the middle half; compare it with the hours the course expects to see whether the workload is realistic.

  3. 13File upload

    Upload the assignment you want feedback on

    Lets a student attach the assignment they want feedback on. The file arrives with the response in the inbox, where you can give it an owner. File upload is on every plan, 1 per survey on Free.

Tips for asking about classes and teaching

Small choices that get honest, useful answers.

  1. 01

    Ask before students leave

    Show the QR code on the last slide and give students two minutes before they pack up, while the session is still fresh.

  2. 02

    Keep the weekly check short

    Ask two or three questions after each class, and keep the grid and the study hours for once or twice a term.

  3. 03

    Start the next class with the answers

    Open with the part students asked to hear again. It shows the feedback is used, and it fixes the gap while the topic is current.

  4. 04

    Keep the wording fixed all term

    Ask the same questions each week, so Results can compare each week with the one before and show whether a change helped.
