Let's review the main points of this tutorial.
Plagiarism is using someone else's words or ideas and passing them off as your own.
Plagiarism is one of the 4 acts of "academic dishonesty" specifically prohibited by the LCSC Student Code of Conduct. (The others are Cheating, Fabrication, and Collusion.) It can lead to a failing grade and other punishment by LCSC.
Other people's words and ideas are also protected by copyright, a federal law.
