Read the prompt, then draft your responses when you're ready.
In the library, you find a printed, completed take-home exam for a course you are also in. The exam is due tomorrow. The student's name is on the paper, and you know them casually. Simply returning it could give them an unfair advantage if they make corrections. Submitting it to the professor could lead to severe, perhaps unwarranted, academic penalties for the student. Leaving it there feels irresponsible.
