Surveys are a quick and easy way to collect feedback from students – about their learning, their experience in the course so far, and their suggestions for changes to the way the course is taught.

Click on the links below for more guidance on creating and using surveys to gather feedback on your teaching. Create your own or use one of our examples (see the blue and gray sidebar), and focus on gathering information that will help you best meet and respond to the needs of students.
