Another key thing related to integrating quotes properly is theimportance of avoiding plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious offense that can drastically affect yourgrade in a negative way if ignored. Overall, being able to integrate quotes correctly will allow meto be more credible in my writing and also avoid losing points on future assignments due toplagiarism.
