sounds dumb but is it bad to reference everything (1 Viewer)

[CarlU]

I'm doing an essay on Spartan religion and I have put an endnote on every claim I have made and referenced it. I recall hearing my teacher saying it makes us look lazy if we are constantly putting endnotes on our work.

So how should I reference and how do YOU reference in ancient history?

It is due tomorrow so any kind of answer would be much appreciated.
Thanks

"Due tomorrow" questions are usually hopeless, imo, because you've handed it in already.

I generally reference every claim in my essays.

Footnotes are fine for an assessment.
So what if it "looks" lazy. If your teacher marks based on the dot points and the correct standard it is the content that matters.
I think it looks neater than continually writing things in brackets etc and making messy gestures to historians throughout your writing.
