Congrats!! Well done!!
It takes courage to hand in an assignment / assessment. Good on you for getting it done.
Different subjects can have different referencing systems. Sometimes the same subject can have different referencing systems e.g., for different journals.
I find the easiest way to get my references in order is to copy or mimic. What I mean to say is to find an example of an article that uses the system I am supposed to use (hopefully one that refereneces a variety of things like a book or an articles with one or many authors) and then I can imitate it much easier.
I just mean to say that it's pretty hard work getting lost in the freaking APA style-guide.
Psychology sometimes loses it's head up it's *rs* with new style guides published seemingly every year.
I think doi numbers are supposed to help with that. Hypertext permanent links, or something.
