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?

While it is understandable that you are feeling overwhelmed by the paper that you need to write for your class, copying someone else's prior work and turning it in as your own is never okay. Not only can you risk getting in serious trouble for plagiarism, but you also run the risk of not learning the material well because you are not taking the time to actually understand and internalize the ideas. The best solution is to ask your professor if you can talk to them about the assignment, explain your situation, and ask if there are any alternative solutions or extensions that you could take advantage of.
