text: Firstly, student might find it difficult to be creative if the project is teacher-designed. Students might see it as boring project and might not even do it, or might come out very uninteresting for others. For instance, a friend of mine made project for science and the students got to chose what to do. He created a sword, in which only works on specific people, can enable a person to drain or give someones energy or make them weak. It was incredible and something a scientist or any other person would dream of existing. One could see the other side and having the project being teacher orientated. Maybe it would make it easier to grade. A student from a different class made a volcano for his science class because the teacher told them to make one, and it was good but very unoriginal and used a lot. One can unlock a lot from their brains, if one isn't made to do something their not interested in.
