What's in this template
A single 1–5 rating. Add one open-text question — 'what one thing would have made this better?' — and you have everything a follow-up email would have given you, at ten times the response rate.
Why in-room feedback beats emailed forms
Response rates aren't comparable
A QR code on the final slide gets a large share of the room. An emailed form the next day gets the two people with strong feelings, one positive and one negative.
Memory decays fast
People forget the specific thing that lost them at minute twelve within about an hour. Ask while it's fresh or don't ask.
Anonymous gets you the real number
Named feedback to a senior presenter is uniformly positive. Anonymous ratings from the same room look quite different.
One open question does the heavy lifting
'What one thing would have made this better?' produces more usable feedback than any rating scale, because it forces a specific answer.
Run it in three steps
Put a QR code on your last slide
Leave it up while you take questions. That's when most responses arrive.
Ask one open question too
The rating tells you whether. The open answer tells you what to change.
Compare across talks
Same questions each time. One score means little; five talks of data shows whether you're improving.
