Shifts in student attitudes towards science while monitoring marina water quality in Friday Harbor, Washington
No full textThe Friday Harbor Marina water quality project incorporates 5th grade educational outreach and the scientific testing of how anthropogenic development can increase concentrations of fecal pollution in the Friday Harbor Marina. Learning how outreach efforts are changing 5th graders’ attitudes towards science may help revise future outreach projects. Additionally, understanding how development in Friday Harbor is influencing the health of the marina can target pollution management to highly-impacted areas. An attitudinal before and after survey was administered to test if students’ scientific interests changed while testing six sites within the marina for fecal coliform contamination. Predictions concerning the increase in student attitudes were unfounded because before and after survey results were not statistically different. Fecal coliform levels were highest near sites of non-point and point source pollution, which corresponds with predictions about the degradation of water quality from development

Black Friday and Cyber Monday: understanding consumer intentions on two major shopping days
No full textU.S. Retailers consider two major holiday shopping days as their most profitable—the Friday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the Monday after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday. Understanding consumer attitudes and intentions toward shopping in the mall or online at these times may aid retailers in their holiday marketing activities. This study uses data from a survey of 225 U.S. consumers to examine attitudes and behaviors of shoppers for these two shopping occasions. The results indicate that consumers enjoy shopping on Black Friday, yet were more likely to shop on Cyber Monday owing to its greater convenience.
