We've actually noticed in our weekly sessions that our nice official-looking yes-we're-gathering-data rate-from-1-to-5 feedback forms don't seem to correlate with how much people seem to visibly enjoy the session - mostly the ratings seem pretty constant. (We're still collecting useful data off the verbal comments.) If anyone knows a standard fix for this then PLEASE LET US KNOW.
You could have a rubric without any numbers, just 10 sentences or so where participants could circle those that apply. E.g. "I learned techniques in this session that I will apply at least once a week in my everyday life", "Some aspects of this session were kind of boring", "This session was better presented than a typical college lecture", etc.
