Every BASIC conference we hand out a questionnaire at the end of the weekend to gather feedback from each person who attends. After sleeping for a couple days straight we come out of post-conference hibernation and each staff member reads through those comments. We usually find a number of helpful ideas and we’ve made changes based on what people told us.
So, my question for you this week is have you ever thought about surveying the students in your college ministry to see what you can learn? Now that we’re nearing the end of the year your students have a pretty good feel for how the ministry runs and what it offers. Why not have them fill out a short survey before they go home for the summer to see what you can do better next year?
Here are 10 sample questions I came up with quickly to get you started on putting one together for your group:
Q: What communication method do you prefer for hearing about events?
Q: What’s your favorite part of our weekly meetings?
Q: What do you like most about our BASIC group?
Q: How many people in BASIC would you consider close friends?
Q: How did you hear about BASIC?
Q: What is the one thing you least like about our BASIC group?
Q: What one event did you enjoy most this year?
Q: What could we do to better reach our campus next year?
Q: What is the number one change we could make/thing we could add to make BASIC better next year?
Q: Do you feel like you have grown in your faith this past year in BASIC? Why or why not?
Have you ever done anything like this to get feedback from your students? What did you learn?
