Many schools have honor codes, but scholars do not always choose to follow them. As part of a series of free-response questions from the AP® English Language and Composition Exam, learners discuss the benefits or disadvantages of honor codes. Multiple sources help them analyze the topic, and two additional essay questions cover two other topics: analyzing rhetorical choices in a speech by Cesar Chavez and explaining the function of polite speech.
