Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that working full-time while studying negatively affects academic performance?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed and reference sources partially support the claim: full-time work alongside full-time study is linked to higher dropout rates, and working students report stress, exhaustion and lower satisfaction. None of the placed items directly measures full-time employment against academic performance (grades) at the strength the claim asserts.
