it’s not OK to pass other people’s work off as your own.
![Page 7: MLA Guidelines for IEG Södermalm](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062615/54873ba3b4af9fb6498b4773/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Written work that does so is referred to as plagiarism

plagiarism: the act of presenting the words, ideas, images, sounds, or the creative expression of others as your own.
