Tips for Quotes

• Use italics for book title.
• Journal name in italics (not article name)
• If more than 2 authors use e.g, Brown, B. et al in end reference, but the in-text quote should not have the initial.
• Use italics for et al.
• If long quote, cut bits out and add 3 dots … to substitute the bits you cut out e.g. “it was very...nice”.
• If you need to add your own words to help it make sense, use square [ ] brackets e.g. “The use of monitoring [in adult classes] is a common at the start of a task”.

​

Info

Tips for Quotes

• Put punctuation outside the quotation marks if you want to end a sentence e.g. “The use of monitoring is great”.
• Put all the punctuation in the right place.
• Only use a quote if the language used in the quotation says what you want to say particularly well.
• A quote should not be more than 1/4 of a paragraph.
• Keep the quotations short.
• Use the quotation to support your point (not to make your point). You need to support each point you make. Quoting is one way to do this.

​

Go Further

​

• Collaborate with colleagues to identify an area of learning, teaching and assessment to focus on.
• Create a shared Padlet or Word 365 Doc. Popular this with links to relevant e-journal articles and quotes, each appropriately referenced.
