Another Article Review Question

I was asked:

"do we have to include a copy of the article with our review? And, how do you tell the difference between an empirical article and the other one"

(a) No, you do not have to include a copy of the article. If we need something, that's what the reference is also used for, you're most likely getting it on EBSCO, so if we need it we will be able to search for it on EBSCO.

(b) My fellow TAs and/or Sung can add to this second part if they think of better clarifications. I think that The best way is to see whether or not there were any tests run. If you see numbers, it is most likely empirical. If you see any statistics, this is most likely empirical. Theory-based articles will just base off of theory, and so when you read through it and write the review you'll use those other headings found on the second page of the example to clarify (i.e., Reference, Major Premise, Development of the Argument, Population From Which the Theory was Developed, Strengths and Limitations of the Paper, Relevance for the Current Question)

Hope this helps...other TAs and Sung may help more.
