A student may not choose which of the four tests he or she will take. All tests are multiple choice format. The tests will be timed for 40 minutes. Additional time will be needed before the test itself begins to distribute test materials and to read instructions. Also, a short period of time will be needed to collect testing materials at the end.
Students are to remain in their seats for the entire testing time.
The score is based on the total number of questions answered correctly, so it is to the student's advantage to answer every question. Faculty and Administrators at MU want to know how well MU's educational goals are being accomplished. The University of Missouri Curators mandated the assessment of General Education at the University of Missouri in 1991. All colleges and universities in the state and most national universities participate in assessment activities. Conscientious performance by MU students on the assessment examination contributes significantly to the establishment and the maintenance of the integrity and worth of an MU degree, which is valuable for its own sake and improves the attractiveness of our graduates in the job market.
