Consider the following case: A college student taking their first philosophy course realizes that they are in danger of failing the class after weeks of slacking off. The student's final essay on Immanuel Kant's moral theory is due in just a few days. The student hasn't read the assignment and asks a friend if he can read their essay to help understand the theory; the classmate agrees. Since the classmate is an excellent student, and the student is sure the person would receive a passing grade; the student decides to submit the same assignment using logic; the other student is in another class with another professor meaning the student will not get caught.
