End-of-course evaluations
Collect ratings on course content, teaching, and learning experience. Keep the questions consistent across sections when you intend to compare them.
Paper course evaluations, from classroom to report
Give students printed feedback forms during class, scan the completed sheets, and review the results in PaperSurvey. Capture ratings and handwritten comments without typing every answer into a spreadsheet.
For course coordinators, department administrators, and teaching quality teams preparing their next evaluation round.
Use your office printer and document scanner. Review the results before you export.
One paper workflow for different teaching settings
Choose paper when you want everyone to receive the same questionnaire in the room. Students do not need a device, an account, or an internet connection to respond.
Mid-course feedback
Use a shorter form while there is still time to act. Ask what helps students learn and what could change during the remaining sessions.
Professional and continuing education
Collect feedback at the end of a taught session. Keep course and delivery-date labels with each batch so repeated courses can be reviewed separately.
From a stack of completed forms to course feedback
Prepare the questionnaire and course labels before collection. Test a small batch with the printer and scanner your department will use.
Explore the help centerPrepare the department’s questionnaire
Start with the template or import questions from your existing document. Check rating labels, comment space, and the printed layout before creating copies.
Organize collection by course and section
Plan response tags or batch labels for the courses you need to compare. Give students time to complete the forms and follow your department’s collection process.
Scan and check the answers
Upload scans of the completed PaperSurvey forms. Review uncertain marks and compare transcribed comments with the original pages before including them in a report.
Export feedback for your reporting process
Filter the reviewed responses by course or section, then export ratings and comments. Your team decides how findings are summarized and when they are shared with instructors.

This is the printable Course Feedback Form from our template library. It includes rating questions about the course and instructor, learning outcomes, and space for written feedback.
Print it, collect in class, scan it back
- Adapt the questions to your department and generate a printable PDF.
- Hand out the forms during a scheduled class session.
- Scan the completed sheets and review ratings and handwritten comments.
Keep the sections that fit your course. You can change the wording and scales or import your own questionnaire before generating the forms students will complete.

Customize the template in your account, print your forms, collect answers on paper, then scan the completed sheets.
Keep the work manageable across courses
Use ordinary printing equipment
Print forms on your office printer and collect them in the classroom. Test print scaling and scan quality before distributing the full batch.
Keep written feedback
Capture comments as well as ratings. Review handwriting against its source and retain the detail that helps explain students’ answers.
Repeat the process next term
Reuse a questionnaire when appropriate and label each collection round. Keep wording and rating scales consistent for comparisons over time.
Feedback your teaching team can work with
Organize the captured answers so the people reviewing a course can see both the ratings and the comments behind them.
Course and section comparisons
Use response tags to separate course groups. Check that each scan batch has the right labels before comparing the results.
Comments alongside scores
Read reviewed written feedback with the ratings. Your team can use the exported comments to identify recurring issues and examples.
An export for your existing reports
Export to Excel, CSV, SPSS, or R on a paid plan. Confirm the answer coding and missing-value settings with the person preparing the evaluation report.
Pilot one course before the next evaluation round
Bring one blank questionnaire and your collection dates. Request a demo and a setup quote for a small course pilot before extending the process to other sections.
A proposed pilot includes
- Review your questionnaire and printed layout
- Plan course, section, and term labels
- Test printing, scanning, and comment review with practice forms
- Check an example export with your reporting team
Tell us about your collection
Include the number of courses, expected students, pages per form, and any reporting requirements. We can discuss the setup scope and a suitable plan.

Before you print
PaperSurvey reads completed forms generated by PaperSurvey. You can import the questions from an existing document, but completed forms from another system cannot be scanned through this workflow.
Start before your next collection round, and test a few printed copies first.
Prepare for your team’s review
Check how data is stored and processed, and request a Data Processing Agreement when your organization needs one.
Questions before you start
Yes. Import questions from Word, PDF, or text, check the editable questionnaire, and generate new printable forms in PaperSurvey before collecting responses.
No. Students complete the printed questionnaire with a pen. Your team uses PaperSurvey to prepare forms, upload scans, review responses, and export data.
Yes. Plan response tags for course, section, or collection round. Check those labels in a pilot export before scanning a larger batch.
Anonymity depends on your questionnaire and collection process. Decide whether to collect identifying fields, who can access responses, and how comments will be reported before distributing forms.
PaperSurvey provides form creation, scanning, review, and export. If you need course roster synchronization, LMS integration, or scheduled instructor reports, discuss those requirements before choosing a workflow.
Yes. Start with a small course pilot to check the workflow. University plans are also available when you need access across a larger institution.
