Awit

Overall airSlate SignNow was a great tool for what we needed! Our students were able to fill out the document within their availability and we were able to receive them in a timely manner! We will continue to use airSlate SignNow for these types of issues in the future!

As a user of airSlate SignNow, it has helped our department immensely! We've had to make changes and have students sign-off on the changes made to their program of study outlines. This required us to create a document that all students would need to sign electronically but unfortunately all our students were on campus during different dates and times. This posed a problem to us but with airSlate SignNow we had our solution! We emailed the document to the students with an eSignature required field and was able to get all the documents back!

More than just a Sign software

Fausto

Its just very convenient for a lot of documentation, but also serves as a organization tool. The features are very flexible and I feel safe using it.

Love the smoothness of its use and high quality interface. Lots of very convenient features and it does so much more that only serve as a signing app. The click and drag its very friendly and it really saves time when you have to do this types of files.

Excellent eSign product, competitive pricing

Tyler

Overall we've had a great experience with airSlate SignNow and continue to use it on a day-to-day basis.

Pricing is extremely competitive with a paid plan, and I'd put it up against most other eSign products in our testing. The way it auto-reads the inputs from an upload is mostly good, but at times it's a bit off and needs to be manually adjusted. For a basic form for signature it's amazing, and if you set up templates manually it's also top-notch.

Draft initial proof

on July 29 2021 the top 7 picks of the NBA draft were selected and confirmed a recurring theme that we have been dreading to admit for all these years we have thought that since the beginning of time that it doesn't matter where you came from that as long as you worked harder and smarter than everyone else you could make the NBA however there's one thing that we missed as much as it pains us to admit and exactly six of the top seven picks in the 2021 NBA draft showed us exactly what we missed so what did we miss well it's related to the price it takes to go bro and how much it represents itself in the NBA drafts as of today and I'm not talking about the years of hard work dedication and endless training that it takes think of the dollar cost and is much higher than you think firstly most of these players getting drafted have attended an elite high school program and these Elite high schools a lot of them are private and come at a cost in the 2019 NBA draft of the 24 first round draft picks who attended American High School 16 of them attended private schools that's almost 66 percent keep in mind that the average private school tuition is around 11 000 dollars not something the average American family can easily afford however keep in mind that most of these players aren't going to just normal private schools they're going to basketball prep private schools some of them like Orangeville prep with alumni like Jamal Murray and ludor in the NBA have a tuition of over 28 000 a year the average American Income is thirty one thousand dollars and that's almost the same as a tuition that's just not affordable for most families the advantage a player can take from using all the resources that these schools can offer like unlimited access to gyms training and equipment is overwhelming compared to what is available at the average public school and with this in mind it's starting to make sense by more and more MBA prospects are coming from a war while our families you also can't forget about what these players do outside of school like AAU basketball the price of joining AU team can be very expensive now the very talented few are able to get on a team sponsored by Adidas or Nike you don't have to pay but for the others joining a team can range anywhere from 400 to 4 000 however keep in mind that actual process of going to games a lot of these games to happen in different cities you have to crash at a hotel for a few days that could be an extra 500 per trip that adds up per weekend and that adds up fast can average American family really afford that but also keep in mind the high school basketball players from wealthier families...
