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.
I mean, surely the same can apply. They should be taught how to approach peer reviewed materials and they are within English modules in both my alma mater in Canada and where I am in Ireland.

If they are assigning articles that are outside of the subject area of the degree then I would say that is unfair. However, being taught to understand articles and use them in assignments is not generally a bad thing.
