Are you an instructor, course designer, educational administrator, or training professional looking to measure learning outcomes? The Course Understanding Check Template from WPForms is designed to help educators objectively evaluate student comprehension and confidence levels across critical learning dimensions.

Exploring the Course Understanding Check Template

This Weighted Quiz includes 8 multiple-choice questions assessing student ability to explain course concepts, identify relevant examples, understand key terminology, apply processes and steps, and summarize course content clearly. This makes it perfect for college instructors, online course creators, corporate trainers, and educational technology platforms. Here’s what you’ll find inside the template:

Name and Email Collection Fields

The quiz starts by capturing each participant’s name and email address, which helps you track which students have completed the course understanding self-assessment and send personalized follow-up resources based on comprehension score (e.g., remedial materials for low scores, enrichment content for high scores).

8 Multiple-Choice Questions on Critical Learning Dimensions

The template includes 8 multiple-choice questions assessing critical dimensions of course comprehension and confidence. Each answer choice is assigned a specific weight value that reflects the student’s level of confidence and competence:

  • Highest confidence/competence: 100 points
  • Strong confidence: 70 points
  • Developing confidence: 40 points
  • Low/no confidence: 10 points

The quiz automatically calculates the total weighted score as a percentage based on all selections, providing an overall course comprehension and confidence rating.

4 Conditional Outcomes Based on Score Thresholds

The template includes four pre-configured outcome conditions based on percentage score ranges. Participants see different recommendations depending on their course understanding level:

  • Outcome 4 (Excellent) – Greater than 75%: Congratulatory message confirming strong course comprehension and high confidence.
  • Outcome 3 (Strong) – Greater than 50% – Less than 75%: Positive message acknowledging solid understanding with suggestions for reviewing specific concepts.
  • Outcome 2 (Developing) – Greater than 25% – Less than 50%: Constructive message highlighting that significant knowledge gaps or confidence issues remain.
  • Outcome 1 (Poor) – Less than 25%: Supportive, encouraging message strongly recommending meeting with the instructor, revisiting course materials, and more.

You can customize each outcome to include links to specific course resources (lecture recordings, practice problems, reading materials), embedded videos reviewing key concepts, tutoring scheduling links, study group information, or office hours details.

Automatic Results Display

Upon completion, students instantly see:

  • Their total weighted score as a percentage.
