I don’t think this is a standard. In Canada I was expected as a first year to cite peer reviewed sources in my essays right away. I was told where to look (JSTOR) or given a bibliography to work off for the class and search from there.
Yes, which is why we have lectures and classes before essays are due. In these we teach them analytical skills. We assign readings for these and go over them in tutorials. We need to help them learn, but that should start from the beginning.

Hence the original point. We need to explain what these are, how to read them. But first years are capable of this. I’ve seen it.
