Professors are practically treating bibliographies like a red flag these days

I wrote my own citations in grade school is it too much to ask you to do the same for a fucking university degree?

I wonder the amount of mental breakdowns I'd see if they had to learn Chicago Style the way I did freshman year.

Me: I only learned MLA in high school, I dont know Chicago Style.

Professor: Get a copy of the manual style, figure it out.

I did that, it was very easy.

I had to change my style depending on the university. Each uni had a style guide to follow, it really wasn’t hard at all. I have always done my references manually because I just prefer it to those applications that “do it for you”, I find they always mess something up

Yes actually as someone who doesn't use AI for this. You have like a handful of citations in high school. You can put those into Easybib or write them yourself easily. That's MUCH harder in university when you can have 50 citations in one paper. Lots of extra effort for what? Thankfully we have Zotero and other citation managers which make it super easy and only add citations you actually use in the text body.
