PART A: The name of the article is Outcome quality in participant sport and recreation service
quality models: Empirical results from public aquatic centers in Austrailia The authors are Gary
Howat and Guy Assaker. The journal name is ScienceDirect and it was written in November of
2016.

The health and fitness industries in countries like Australia are experiencing uncommon changes
to help put a halt on the growing rates of obesity and health problems. One way to respond to the
health epidemic is to encourage more people to become active through participation in sport and
recreation activities, because of this the public aquatic centers in Australia are trying their best to
slow down the increasing rate of obesity by a strategy called word-of-mouth which is the process
of having their satisfied customers advertise the company based off their positive experiences
that they have with the aquatic centers. The centers hosted quality of service surveys to help find
out what they were doing that was well and that they need to improve upon. The results of the
survey according to the participants who took them demonstrated that the quality of the service
being great influences the participants intention to recommend the service to others.
PART B: The name of the article is Experiences of Succesful Undergraduate Students in
Online Science Courses The author is Carolyn A. Barnes. It was published in 2014, and the
journal is ProQuest.

The qualitative phenomenological study explored the results of thirteen undergraduate students
who were successful in their online science class. The study is to determine the factors that
contributed to their success in the course, and ways for future students to excel in the future
online endeavors that they may encounter. Identifying and comprehending the factors presented
in online classes may enable the university to create better systems to promote future student
success and retention. Student experiences in online courses may be completely different from
their time in a traditional course, which if the experience is negative could lead to online courses
declining. The thirteen students offered insight on the things they did that made them successful
in online courses.
PART C: The article is A Magic Trick Inspired by Math The author of the article is Jeffrey R.
Young. It was written on October 16, 2011 and the journal is ProQuest.

A Stanford University student magician developed a trick for his magic act that involves math.
The magician guesses the five cards that are held by the five audience members who have all
taken consecutive cards from the top of the deck after the deck has been cut multiple times. The
secret behind the trick is that the magician must have the cards in a certain order so that the
magician can decode no matter what selections the audience makes. The trick instead of a
standard 52 card deck, holds 32 which the spectators never seem to notice. The magician has
remembered the binary code that comes along with the way that the deck is set up that helps him
know the exact card that the spectators are holding, delivering a powerful mind-reading trick.
