Built for instructors, program leads, and academic affairs teams who want more than end-of-term star ratings.

Q09
AI Interview

Reconstruct the specific experience behind the respondent's overall rating and recommendation score: ask for a concrete moment or assignment that shaped their view, whether it was a strength or a letdown, and why. If they flagged low agreement on clarity, feedback timing, or fairness in the earlier ratings, probe that statement directly with a real example. If their rating and recommendation scores diverge noticeably, ask what's driving the gap.

Message

Thanks so much for sharing your perspective! Your answers will be combined with other students' responses to help improve teaching and course design — individual responses are not shared with instructors for grading purposes.

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

  • Pairs quantitative measures — an overall course quality rating, a workload/pacing rating, a matrix of agreement statements, and a likelihood-to-recommend score — with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the specific moment behind each student's overall rating, not just the number itself
  • Includes a behavioral frequency question on office hours/question-asking and a ranking exercise so you learn which factors actually drive impressions, rather than guessing from a single star rating
  • A dedicated open-text question ('what one thing would you change') captures concrete, actionable feedback that static scales miss
  • Optional year-of-study and field-of-study questions let academic affairs teams segment results without forcing every respondent to answer

Jotform

Student Perception Survey Form Template

A ready-to-field static form covering standard student-perception items, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's easy to customize and embed but relies entirely on fixed question sets with no adaptive probing. Good for quick deployment, less suited to teams wanting deeper qualitative insight per response.

What it does well

  • Fielding-ready template that can be deployed quickly
  • Drag-and-drop customization and broad integration ecosystem typical of Jotform
  • Familiar, simple form format for respondents

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe the reasoning behind a rating
  • No voice AI interview or guided screen-share task options
  • No published methodology for how responses are scored or interpreted

Typeform

Student Perception Survey Template

Typeform's version emphasizes its signature one-question-at-a-time conversational interface, which tends to boost completion rates for course-feedback surveys. It's a fixed template rather than an adaptive interview, so every respondent sees the same fixed sequence of questions. Strong on form aesthetics and UX, thinner on follow-up depth.

What it does well

  • Polished, conversational one-question-at-a-time interface known to improve completion rates
  • Simple to customize and share as a standalone link
  • Mobile-friendly presentation

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up questions — the flow is identical for every respondent regardless of their answers
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated reports
  • No voice interview or guided task with screen share option
