The exact change

Before
"Summarization is most valuable when it requires students to produce a representation of the material that integrates across the whole section or passage. Sentence-by-sentence summarization does not require this integration and produces learning outcomes similar to re-reading. Integrative summarization -- identifying main ideas and their relationships -- produces substantially better long-term retention." -- Dr. Eileen Kintsch, Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Colorado Boulder
After
Summarization is most valuable when it requires producing a representation of the material that integrates across the whole section or passage. Sentence-by-sentence summarization does not require this integration and tends to produce learning outcomes similar to re-reading. Integrative summarization, identifying main ideas and their relationships, tends to produce substantially better long-term retention.

Suggested change

De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.

Why this is better
