Remember that your goal is to learn these topics well enough that you can explain them in your own words in a job interview or when you talk with your coworkers. With this in mind, you should write your response in your own words.

Using a response that is not your own is a violation of the University Honor Code, will result in a 0 on the assignment or failing the class, and will not help you learn.
