I have a paper to write for class and its getting really close to due date - is it okay to copy someone else's prior work and turn in as my own if I change it up some?

No, it is not okay to plagiarize by copying someone else's work and turning it in as your own. This is cheating, and it is against the rules of academic integrity. Not only will your teachers likely catch it, but it could also lead to serious consequences depending on how serious the case is. It is much better and easier to just do the work yourself, basing it on your own research and writing skills.
