Short Courses Feedback Survey

The Short Courses Feedback Survey (SCFS) consolidates student feedback on short course activities. The SCFS allows short course coordinators and presenters to identify aspects of courses that may be further developed.

SCFS Questions

The survey includes eight core ratings-based questions and two open-ended questions. Course coordinators may customise their survey with a further eight questions (ratings only). The survey should take a maximum of ten minutes to complete.

The eight core ratings-based questions are:

1. The short course was delivered in a way which was consistent with its stated objectives.
2.  I developed skills and/or knowledge relevant to professionals in my field.
3.  My learning experiences in this short course were interesting and thought provoking.
4. The teaching staff seemed to know the subject matter well.
5. The teaching staff presented material in a way that made it easy to understand.
6. There were appropriate resources available to support this short course.
7. The administration and management of the course was of a high standard.
8. Overall I am satisfied with the quality of this short course.

The open-ended questions are:

1. What did you particularly like about this short course?
2. Please suggest any improvements that could be made to this short course.
3. Please feel free to use the back of this form to make any other comments, particularly in relation to the above ratings.
