While you may not submit the same paper for two or more assignments without your instructors' permission, you can quote and paraphrase your earlier papers. Building off your earlier work in later papers can be a great way of developing research. However, any final paper that you have submitted for grading is, in a sense, published; you therefore must cite such earlier works.
