Class Feedback Form Template

About this class feedback form template

Class feedback is most useful while the session is still fresh. Students can tell you whether the pace felt right, which parts were clear, where they got stuck, and what would make the next class easier to follow.

Our class feedback form template is designed for single classes, short programs, online lessons, workshops, recurring sessions, and small-group learning experiences. It can be used by instructors, tutors, schools, studios, coaches, training providers, community centers, and course creators.

Use this template after a fitness class, art class, cooking class, dance class, language lesson, professional workshop, online class, kids’ program, or adult education session. For longer programs with grades, assignments, or multiple modules, our course evaluation form template may give you a more detailed starting point.

What this template includes

Use this template to ask students about:

• Class name or session title
• Instructor name
• Class date or time

You can change the questions, descriptions, fields, rating scales, conditional logic, layout, theme, colors, fonts, button styles, confirmation message, and automatic email steps.

How to use this template

Click “Use this template” to open the class feedback form in FormGrid.

1. Add your class details. Update the title, intro text, class name, instructor name, date, format, and any short note students should read before answering.
2. Review the rating questions. Keep the ratings that match what you want to learn, such as clarity, pacing, difficulty, instructor support, materials, and overall experience.
3. Adjust the written questions. Ask what helped students most, what felt confusing, and what they would change for the next session.
4. Match the form to your class format. Online classes may need questions about audio, video, links, or screen sharing. In-person classes may need questions about room setup, equipment, timing, or group size.
5. Use conditional questions where useful. With conditional logic, students who give a low rating can see a follow-up question, while students interested in another class can see future-session questions.
6. Set up an automatic thank-you email. Add a send email block if students should receive a thank-you note, class resources, homework, replay link, or next-step instructions after submitting feedback.
7. Customize the design. Change the layout, colors, fonts, button styles, and descriptions so the form feels aligned with your class, school, studio, or brand.
8. Publish and share the form. After you publish the form, send the link by email, add it to a class follow-up message, share it in chat, place it behind a QR code, or embed it on your website with an embed code.

Responses appear in your response table, where you can review ratings, comments, class dates, instructor names, and follow-up permissions. You can also export responses when you need a spreadsheet for instructor review, program planning, team discussions, or reporting.

Tips for collecting better class feedback

Class feedback should help you improve the next session, not create extra work for students or instructors.

• Ask soon after class. Students give clearer answers when they still remember the examples, activities, pacing, and parts that felt confusing.

• Keep the form short. A few focused ratings and one or two comment fields are usually enough for a single class.

• Separate pace from difficulty. A class can be easy but rushed, or challenging but well-paced. Asking both gives you better signals.

• Leave room for specific comments. Ratings help you spot patterns, but written feedback explains whether the issue was an unclear example, missing context, too little practice, or a confusing activity.

• Ask about confidence. For skills-based classes, confidence after the session can be more useful than satisfaction alone.

• Share what changes. When students see that feedback leads to clearer instructions, better materials, or improved pacing, they are more likely to answer next time.
