As Cross and Angelo (CAT #25) observed, it is sometimes helpful to give students the chance to respond, perhaps anonymously, to blunt questions about how the course is going.

Creating Your Own Survey: Using Flashlight Online, we've copied the example survey from their book, that asks students to describe whether the faculty member treats all students in the course with fairness and respect (answers on a scale from "total failure" to "total success"), how efficiently the faculty member has organized the learning process (from "totally inefficient' to "totally efficient"), and how helpful the faculty member's comments have been on papers and tests (from "not at all helpful" to "always very helpful"). We wrote just one question, but you can write as many as you like using this template (ZS15529)

Here' some introductory text that you could adapt for your feedback form:

Please respond honestly and constructively to the questions below by checking the responses you most agree with and writing comments to explain your answers. I ask these questions to find out how I'm doing and to get ideas from you about how to improve the course for you.
