The 'Classroom Activities and Outcomes Survey' is useful in that it offers the ability to extract what was 'taken away' during the quarter/semester. So many class reviews are simply instructor reviews that students rubber stamp and take no time to truly consider. The outcomes survey is written in a better way that those end-of-quarter surveys I'm used to because it's written in a way that directs me to disclose what benefits I took from the class, not simply did I get a benefit or not.
I have one suggestion for improving the survey and that is to have one question that is open and allows for adding any additional information or comments.
