It is easier when you are writing for a particular journal because every article in that journal is an example for you to mimic.
It is harder, often, to do what lecturers / graders want. Most especially when they don't understand the *point* of referencing. Or that the point is to 1) Provide enough information so the reader can find your reference / check up on it as painlessly as possible and 2) To have a consistent style with that largely for aesthetic but also for ease of making sure you have all the information and the informational bits in expected places.
