Very important remark to take note:

Quoting

I just want to caution you about using direct quotes. Even if you cite correctly, use direct quotes sparingly. Most direct quotes are not necessary – paraphrase! Also, the citation after a direct quote is as follows: (Manning, 2011, para. #) or (Manning, 2011, p. #). You use the paragraph if the document you are citing from is on the web; you use the page number if it is a journal article.
