"According to the US Department of

Education, "students in online conditions

performed modestly better, on average, than

those learning the same material through

traditional face-to-face instruction"

(Evaluation xiv)."

This (above) would be the better citation.

However, there are some points to consider.

  1. If it is only part of a sentence at the end or the beginning, you should probably put a ... for example, "...students e.t.c"
  2. If there should be punctuation after the last word in the quotation
