AIM

high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."

Preparing feed back form

From Anupama G on TWIN - 17th June, 2003

Hi,

Here are a few questions that some of our team members have come up with that could form part of a training session feedback form. They include questions eliciting feedback on the session, the trainer and the actual presentation. Various rating parameters are used for different types of questions, some of them being:
Completely, Partially, Not at All
Excellent, Very Good, Good, Satisfactory, Poor

Understanding the scenarios in which your trainees will work after having attended the training is important. Based on this, you can provide multiple choices to your trainees to answer specific questions. The more granular and specific you make the feedback form, the more useful results will you get.

Session Feedback
1.Were the objectives of this course clear?
2.Has the course fulfilled its stated objectives?
3.List out topics that must be covered in greater depth.
4.List out topics that must be covered more briefly.
5.List out any suggestions that you may have to improve the course.
6.List out any topics that you may have noticed lacking in the course.
7.Were you encouraged to ask questions?
8.Were all your questions answered satisfactorily?
9.If your answer to question 8 was No, was a date and time communicated to you, by when your queries would be answered?
10.Did the session encourage group participation?
11.Was the group participation moderated effectively?

Course/Material Feedback
1.Does the course material clearly bring out the concepts described during the presentation?
2.Are the concepts brought out through sufficient examples?
3.Are the assignments: Just right, Too difficult, Too easy
4.Are the handouts relevant to the course?
5.Was this session useful to you?
6.Can you work independently on a project based on the information / concepts explained in this session?
7.If your answer to question 5 was No, in which areas do you think you require assistance?
8.Can you work independently after going through the course material and spending some more time understanding the concepts? If yes, how much time would you require?
9.Any further comments/suggestions.

Presenter Feedback
1.Articulation skills
2.Flow of topics
3.Time management
4.Ability to troubleshoot
5.Ability to initiate class participation
6.Any further comments/suggestions

Presentation Feedback
1.Did the presentation achieve its objectives?
2.Did the presentation exceed its time?
3.Rate the quality of the presentation in terms of:
Language
Aesthetics
Sound quality (microphone)
4.Did the presentation equipment pose any problems?

What other sessions would complement this training?

Hope this helps,
Anu
