When including a quote in the text of an essay, make sure that the sentence is grammatically correct. If there is an error in the original this can be identified in the quote by placing after the error. When quoting, copy the original wording accurately and use the same spelling and punctuation as is used in the original. As a general guide, quotes should constitute less than 10% of an essay. They should be reserved for such items as definitions, brief extracts that cannot be expressed adequately in another way, or for special emphasis. Quotation marks are not used and the quote is single spaced. Quotes which are 40 words or longer in length are to be indented. The source of the quote must also be given in your footnotes. Where a quote is four lines or fewer it is to be included normally in the text of the essay and identified by double quotation marks at the beginning and end of the actual quoted material.
There are several methods of doing this depending on the length of the quote. A direct quotation is where you copy exactly what you have read, word for word. All quoted material must be identified as being quoted.
