Please affirm (by writing your full name) that you have read the instructions and will adhere to the academic integrity policy. Specifically, this is a ‘one cheat sheet double-sided’ only exam. You must show this clearly to the Honorlock camera. However you CAN NOT work with others on this exam a part of D’Youville’s academic integrity policy. Any students determined to be using resources other than their two cheat sheets in the completion of exams will receive a 0 for the exam and will be susceptible to the penalties identified in the course syllabus pertaining to breaching academic integrity.  Remember, for the exams, the ONLY thing that you should have at your desk is the one double-sided cheat sheet written by hand. Nobody should be in the room with you. All watches must be taken off. If taking the exam in the library, please be sure to be in a cubicle away from others.  Your room scan should include a full 360 view of the room (shown slowly), the area in front of you, under you, and above you (on ceiling). No music, TV’s etc should be on during the exam. All tabs other than the exam should be closed for the duration of the exam. A complete full rooms scan (including showing wrists and ears to indicate that no smart device is on or near your person) and showing of cheat sheet to Honorlock is a part of the full room scan. If you do not use a cheat sheet, you must clearly state that to the camera as well. Be sure to actually tap on the phone to show it is turned off and then put away. The audio and video must stay on at all times. If you have anything connected to your device (i.e. bluetooth speakers, headphones etc), please be sure to disconnect them for the duration of the exam Failure to complete a full room scan (including showing wrists, ears, and full front of desk area to indicate that no smart device is on or near your person) and showing the cheat sheet is subject to a deduction in points as well. You must verbally state (and show) where phone is.  You must tap on the phone to show that it is turned off As such, please show Honorlock camera both sides of your cheat sheet (written by hand only) AND be sure to include full desk (or sitting space at which you’re taking the exam), wrists and ears, phone if you have not done so already.  If you are not using a cheat sheet, please be sure to clearly state that as well. 

Consider the following argument and its map. “What is the moral status of lying? Despite what many people would have us believe, 1 lying isn’t morally wrong. For one thing,2 lying is saying something that isn’t true, and 3 everybody says things that aren’t true now and then because 4 everyone has false beliefs. This means that 5 everybody lies, and 6 nothing that everybody does can be morally wrong. For another thing, 7 something is morally good if it maximizes pleasure or minimizes pain. Thus, 8 if lying didn’t minimize unnecessary pain then it would be morally wrong. But, 9 lying does minimize unnecessary pain because 10 the truth can hurt MC 4.4d.png Inference F takes us from “8 If lying didn’t minimize unnecessary pain then it would be morally wrong” and “9 Lying does minimize unnecessary pain” to 1 Lying isn’t morally wrong.” Is inference F valid or invalid?

After all, not knowing the truth might hurt even more than knowing it.” What part of the argument is this objection criticizing?
