Classroom Testing

Through the financial support of the University of Missouri Provost’s office, ARC provides scanning, scoring, and reporting of classroom tests for instructors of MU courses. Answer sheets, course identification sheets, and key sheets can be picked up at the ARC campus office, located in 112 Townsend Hall, at the corner of Conley Avenue and 6th Street. After test administration, instructors need to complete the required documents and return them with the completed answer sheets to the ARC campus office.

To use this service, MU instructors must establish a web-based reporting account with ARC. To establish a web-based reporting account, send an email to classroomtesting@missouri.edu. Include your campus email address, your name, and your department name. After ARC establishes your account, an email will be sent to you with your account information and link. Call ARC at 573-882-4694 if you do not receive your account information within 2 business days.

Answer sheets brought to the ARC campus office by 12:00 noon will have results returned to the instructor by 4 p.m. of the same day in an e-mailed web-based report. Answer sheets submitted after 12:00 noon will be processed and returned to the instructor on the following day. The web-based report is available through any web access and allows you to print reports in the formats shown below. These basic materials, services, and reports, funded by the MU Provost’s office and ARC, support your classroom instruction and assessments:
