I, for one, find a slider with the smiley face much better to use than 1-5 point bulleted scales.

For more constructive feedback, I would take another look at some of the descriptions. For example, I felt like I learned nothing this week, but having the lower values of that question be "I haven't learned a thing since the 90s" greatly escapes the bounds of the week. I get that it's exaggeration, but for what it's worth I adjusted my score so it was above that description even though it should probably be lower.

I haven't checked out every value available, but it's worth putting some metrics on each option and seeing if sub-ranges in one category are used far less often than equivalent ranges in other categories. It's funny how descriptions can muddle a statistic.
