When quoting dialougue in your writing and the quote goes on for many paragraphs, do the marks go at the beginning and end of each paragraph or only at the beginning and end of the quote?

Actually, for long quotes you should remove the quotation marks entirely. Here are a couple of links that might help you out...

A bit of advice?... Be careful about blocking together really long quotes unless you have the instructors okay- all of the instructors I have worked with prefer their students to pull the quote apart a bit and address it in sections. Sometimes, to keep things in context, that simply isn't possible- but it is something to consider when composing your papers. =)
Good luck!

i'd search for suggestion from with the instructors ASAP. in basic terms be consumer-pleasant, and tell him/her you realized your mistake afterwards. that is to be on the danger-free aspect; plagiarism is considered as even worse than an F, because it shows you're dishonest.
