Tips on designing an evaluation form:

• Keep it simple. The shorter and easier to fill in, the more likely people are to do it.
• What do you most want to know about? The content of the programme? The practical or organisational aspects? The experience - enjoyable and pleasant, or boring and uncomfortable?
• Make a mix of 'closed' and 'open' questions. 'Closed' questions get a yes or no, or tick a box. They are quicker and take less thought and people are more likely to do it. 'Open' questions are open-ended, people have to write their own words in a space or box. They can yield more information, suggestions and ideas but some people won't bother.

Consider more than just 'yes' or 'no' - maybe a 'don't know'.

Consider a scale such as:

• excellent / good / okay / not good / poor
• strongly agree / agree / don't know / disagree / strongly disagree

Remember you will need people to hand it out and collect it in!
