text: Summer projects should be student designed because the student can choose something they actually care about. If the student can choose something they care about it would help their grade a lot. They will spend more time on the project which means it wouldnt be last second and rushed. also the student will acutely do the work. students dont even want to do work while in school just imagine if they didnt have any one telling them to do the work they wouldnt probably do it.
