Select a delivery method. While traditionally course evaluations have been paper sheets passed out to students at the conclusion of the course, they do not have to take this form. Consider taking your course evaluations online and setting up a system for students to use to complete the process digitally. To ensure that this digital delivery method doesn't result in some students not completing the evaluation, make evaluation completion requisite.
Head your evaluation with spaces for identification information. Include a space for course name and number, as well as instructor name. To ensure that students don't make errors in filling out these sections, fill them out prior to photocopying them.
Compose a concise list of questions. While you want your course evaluation to be comprehensive, if you create a list of questions that is too large, students will likely rush through it and not dedicate themselves to completing them effectively.
Divide your evaluation into sections. Include sections about the professor, Here, students can rate his availability, professionalism, knowledge and teaching style. Include sections that ask students to evaluate course content on its own merit.
Create a scale for students to use when completing evaluation. To make your evaluation results more easily quantifiable, ask students to record ratings in response to each query by creating a scale and labeling one side "very much true" and the other "not true at all."
Leave space for anecdotal information. While students may not choose to include anecdotal information -- you should allow them space to do so, if they wish. End your evaluation with a section that asks for comments.
