Thank you for completing the survey! Your feedback will be used to improve capstone support and outcomes for future students. If you have any questions about this study, please contact [program contact email].

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Combines closed-ended scales (advisor guidance, resource adequacy, peer collaboration, career readiness) with an AI follow-up interview that lets students elaborate on their capstone challenges in their own words.
  • Includes a ranking question to surface which specific challenges (e.g., mentorship gaps, resource shortages) had the greatest impact, plus a skills-gained multi-select for outcome tracking.
  • Captures program-level context (program level, enrollment status, mode of instruction, region) so administrators can segment results by cohort for data-driven program improvement.
  • Every AI-generated follow-up question is shown transparently, and results roll up into an auto-generated report — no manual coding of open-ended feedback required.

Jotform

Project Information Form Template

This is a generic project-intake form for collecting basic project details (title, description, team, deliverables), not an education-specific outcomes or mentorship-quality survey. It's a fielding-ready static form builder template, but it isn't designed to evaluate capstone support, advising quality, or learning outcomes. Useful only as a loose structural reference, not a direct competitor to a program-improvement survey.

What it does well

  • Simple, quick-to-deploy form for capturing standardized project metadata
  • Jotform's drag-and-drop builder and integrations make distribution and data collection easy

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI interviewing or voice AI follow-up — purely static fields
  • Not built for evaluating mentorship quality, resource adequacy, or learning outcomes
  • No automated quality scoring or auto-generated analysis of open responses

SurveySparrow

Project Submission Form Template

SurveySparrow's education template is aimed at collecting student project submissions (files, descriptions, deadlines) rather than evaluating the support and learning-outcomes experience around a capstone. It's a ready-to-use form in the education category, but its scope is submission logistics, not program-improvement research. Some question style overlap (conversational form format) but different intent.

What it does well

  • Education-category template with a conversational, chat-style UI familiar to students
  • Ready-to-use for handling project deliverable submissions and deadlines

Where it falls short

  • No mentorship, resource-adequacy, or skill-development evaluation questions
  • No adaptive AI or voice AI follow-up probing on challenges faced
  • No built-in per-response quality scoring or auto-generated program-improvement report
