student feedback

Pupil course reviews

Student feedback is information students provide about their educational experience—evaluations of courses, instructors, or institutional services.

It flows upward from learners to those who teach or administer: The professor revised the syllabus based on student feedback.

The term also describes comments teachers give to students about their work, though that sense is less common; instructor feedback or teacher feedback is clearer for that direction.
