There are rules of academic honesty that I agree to follow when completing my examination #1 for ESS 101. These include:

1. I will not communicate with other people to get answers for this examination or have other individuals communicate with me during the exam. It is an open note examination and I will do my own work and use my own notes.

2. I will not participate in chat rooms or other social media communications to get answers to this exam. If it is determined that I participated in a chat room or other social media communication during the examination period then I acknowledge that I am subject to receive a "0" score on the examination and my misconduct can be reported to the UW academic misconduct staff.

3. I will take advantage of Terry's enthusiasm, not his trust!

Before evaluating the choices, note that the question presents two options tied to an honesty/written pledge about exam conduct.
Option 1: 'I agree fully to the above honor statement and will take advantage of Terry's enthusiasm, not his trust.' This option aligns with the idea of adhering to academic integrity while recognizing a humorous but inappropriate reference to exploiting someone’s enthusiasm instead of their trust. It communicates full agreement with the stated rules and a commitment to honest behavior during the exam, which is consistent with the expectations of an open-note, individual effort assessment.
Option 2: 'I do not agree with the above honor statement and I acknowledge that I will receive a "O" on this exam and be subject to UW academic discipline if I do adhere to the UW academic integrity policies.' This option explicitly rejects the honor statement and accepts potential repercussions for violation. It contradicts the premise of following the rules and showcases a readiness to violate them, which would undermine the purpose of the honesty agreement and expose the student to disciplinary consequences.
To dissect potential misunderstandings:
- The first option reinforces a commitment to not communicating with others or seeking outside help, even in an open-note setting, which is consistent with typical academic honesty policies.
- The reference to taking advantage of 'Terry's enthusiasm, not his trust' may seem odd, but it is framed as a caution against manipulating others; the essential takeaway remains a pledge to act with integrity.
- The second option effectively negates the agreement, implying intent to violate the policy, which would undermine the examination’s integrity and trigger disciplinary actions under standard university policies.
In summary, Option 1 reflects compliance with the stated rules and a commitment to personal integrity, while Option 2 signals noncompliance and willingness to face consequences. The contrast highlights common misunderstandings: confusing casual cooperation with unethical behavior, or misreading the seriousness of academic conduct expectations.
