Academic Argument To be considered a top recruit you don’t even have to display your intelligence all you need to display is the athletic ability that you have obtained. The film “Hoop Dreams” shows the two main characters being pursued by college coaches because of what they could potentially bring to the team not what they can bring to the school.

worthiness; there are a number of factors that are used in this assessment such as employment, salary, GMAT score and a few others.

The students did very well on the timeline multiple-choice questions and the two short answer questions. I believe the timeline activities in class and the formative assessment questions at the end of each reading attributed to the success of the students on these portions of the test.
