Procrastinating makes it likely you'll run out of time or be unduly pressured to finish.

If you don't understand an assignment, talk with your professor. Don't take the "easy way" out by asking your roommate or friends for copies of old assignments

Understand good paraphrasing:
Simply using synonyms or scrambling an author's words and phrases and then using these "rewrites" uncredited in your work is plagiarism, plain and simple.
