Read the answers carefully
Keep the conclusion within the evidence.
Do not promise refunds or places without evidence.
Learners cannot identify replacement dates. This is a synthetic example, not a customer result. Do not promise refunds or places without evidence.
A useful starting point
Questions to understand the actual experience.
Improve guidance when a learning session changes. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
What did the cancellation notice explain?
Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: learners cannot identify replacement dates.
Which alternative was unclear?
An unclear alternative reveals whether cancellation guidance adequately explains changed dates, formats or available next steps. State only confirmed options and official conditions, rather than inferring refund or attendance rights from preferences.
What assistance did you need next?
Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: list available options and the next contact route.

Check the experience again
After trying the change, repeat “What did the cancellation notice explain?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: learners cannot identify replacement dates. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that everything about course cancellation experience was clear and easy?
What did the cancellation notice explain?
The first wording combines an assumed positive outcome with two different judgments. The revised prompt asks about a specific experience and permits an inconvenient or uncertain answer.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| What did the cancellation notice explain? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| Which alternative was unclear? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Do not promise refunds or places without evidence. |
| What assistance did you need next? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. List available options and the next contact route. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.

Questions, answered.
Who should receive this questionnaire?
Learners and facilitators involved in the described activity. Ask only about steps each person encountered; do not treat a voluntary response sample as representative.
When should I ask these questions?
Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “What did the cancellation notice explain?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
What should I investigate in the answers?
Learners cannot identify replacement dates. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Do not promise refunds or places without evidence.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
List available options and the next contact route. After trying the change, repeat “What did the cancellation notice explain?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: learners cannot identify replacement dates. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
How should I ask “Which alternative was unclear?”?
An unclear alternative reveals whether cancellation guidance adequately explains changed dates, formats or available next steps. State only confirmed options and official conditions, rather than inferring refund or attendance rights from preferences. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
Can I use the questions in SurveyTeams?
