Post-Lecture Feedback & Teaching Quality Survey

Captures how clear, well-paced, and engaging a lecture was, plus which specific aspects (pacing, examples, Q&A, materials) students most want improved. An AI follow-up interview digs into a concrete moment the student found confusing or engaging, turning vague 'it was fine' ratings into specifics an instructor can act on.

Q01
Message

Hi! We'd love your honest feedback on the lecture you just attended (or watched). Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. It takes about 7 minutes and helps the instructor improve future sessions.

Q02
Multiple ChoiceRequired

In the past month, how many of this course's lectures have you attended in person or watched live?

  • All of them
  • Most of them
  • About half
  • A few
  • None
Q03
Opinion ScaleRequired

How likely are you to recommend this lecture to a classmate who's deciding whether to attend?

Scale: 010
Min:Not at all likelyMax:Extremely likely
Q04
MatrixRequired

How much do you agree with each statement about this lecture?

5 rows × 5 columns
  • The pace of the lecture was appropriate

Q06
Best–Worst Trade-off (MaxDiff)Required

If the instructor could only change a few things about this lecture, which would matter most to you?

  • More real-world examples
  • More time for questions and discussion
  • Clearer explanations of core concepts

Pick best & worst per setBest:Would improve the lecture mostWorst:Would improve the lecture least
Q07
AI Interview

Ask the respondent to describe a specific moment in the lecture where they felt most engaged or most lost, anchoring on whichever statement they rated lowest in the pacing/clarity/examples battery. Get concrete detail: what was being explained at that point, what confused them or made it click, and what the instructor could have done differently right there. If they flagged a top improvement area in the trade-off question, ask them to describe what a fixed version of that lecture would actually look like.

Q08

Q11
Message

Thanks so much for the feedback! Your responses are combined with other students' answers into a summary report the instructor uses to improve future lectures — individual answers are never shared with a name attached.

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 quick quantitative pulses (pacing/clarity opinion scale, agreement matrix, instructor responsiveness rating) with a max-diff question that forces students to prioritize which single change matters most
  • Includes an AI follow-up interview that asks the student to describe one specific confusing or engaging moment, turning generic 'it was fine' answers into concrete, actionable detail for the instructor
  • Bookends the survey with friendly chat-style intro/outro messages and closes with an open long-text field so students can add anything the structured questions missed
  • Captures context (attendance frequency, year of study, field/department) so instructors can see if feedback patterns differ by student segment

SurveyMonkey

Teaching Assistant Evaluation: TA Survey Examples

This is a ready-to-use template on an established survey platform, aimed at evaluating teaching assistants rather than lecture-specific instructor performance, so it's a related but not identical use case. It likely covers standard rating and open-text questions typical of SurveyMonkey's education templates, with the platform's usual reporting and distribution tools. No AI-driven probing or per-response scoring is part of the offering.

What it does well

  • Backed by a well-known, mature survey platform with broad distribution and analytics tooling
  • Purpose-built for academic/teaching evaluation context, so question framing is likely relevant to instructors
  • Ready to deploy without configuration, useful for a quick baseline TA evaluation

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe vague answers like 'it was fine'
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
  • No transparent, published prompt/methodology for how responses are interpreted or scored
