I reviewed Jon's and Steven's annotated bibliography for correct citation for each type of file. I had to look around to look at examples that weren't in the sample file. I also realized that none of the students share a similar citation style as I do. Mine seems very relaxed and does not ask for much in comparison to everyone else's bibliography.
