ARC provides scanning, scoring, and reporting of classroom tests for instructors of University of Missouri courses. Answer sheets, course identification sheets, and key sheets can be picked up at the ARC campus office, 112 Townsend Hall. After test administration, instructors need to complete the required documents and return them with the completed answer sheets to the ARC campus office.
ARC facilitates the course feedback process to collect data that supports faculty instructional design while promoting professional development and excellence in teaching.
Some results are also used to assist administrative decision-making, with SB-389 items designed to help future students select courses and instructors.
For the University of Missouri-Columbia Campus
Course feedback materials and processes are the result of a two-year, campus-wide development process based on the initial recommendations of the TFELT Committee. Additional input was provided by the Teaching for Learning Center and the Office of the Provost, with the final set of items written and tested by the Student Feedback Design Team.
Student-feedback surveys can be administered via paper or on the web depending on the preference of the instructor or department.

MoCAT is an online system that allows instructors to gather mid-semester feedback in order to improve teaching and learning during the semester. Instructors choose the appropriate survey, launch it, and review the compiled results. Please note: A MoCAT survey and results cannot be used in lieu of any official end-of-semester course evaluation required by the instructor’s home department. The MoCAT survey is used for informational purposes to help instructors implement changes during the semester.
MU’s Teaching for Learning Center strongly encourages the use of the MoCAT survey. The survey results are intended to provide instructors with valuable feedback regarding student perceptions of instruction and learning while showing students that instructors at the University of Missouri care about teaching.
The MoCAT evaluations can be deployed at any point during the semester, generally starting in Week 4, allowing instructors the opportunity to modify their classes to enhance teaching and learning throughout the remaining weeks of the semester. Instructors should assure students that their responses to the survey will remain anonymous: All student responses are aggregated into a single report for the instructor. Results are provided only to the person who launches the survey.
