Open-Ended Formative Assessment Survey
3 Question Survey for Students
For In-Class Assessment: Print
enough copies of the Three-Question Assessment for your class. You can
access the assessment via the link at the top of this page.
For Online Assessment: Publish
the Survey inside the Modules section of your course. Once complete,
here is how you get
survey results.
OVERVIEW: This formative assessment asks three key questions about students' learning, a subject on
which each student will have a unique perspective:
What aspects of the course are helping you to learn?
What aspects of the course are making it more difficult to learn?
What are you, as a student, currently doing or planning to do to enhance your own learning?
This short, open-ended survey works well when you want to find out more about students' learning (as
opposed to what they find enjoyable or disagreeable) as well as about specific aspects of the course that are most impactful.
Consider using this formative assessment at least after the first few weeks of the semester, when
students will have experiences on which to base their feedback, but early enough in the semester that
you will have the opportunity to use the feedback. This assessment could be repeated multiple times during the
semester.
TIME COMMITMENT:
In-class time for collecting feedback: 15 minutes or more
Instructor reflection time: Varies based upon the number and kind of responses
In-class time for responding to feedback: 10 minutes
