text: Also, Student-designed projects would be less time consuming and not as difficult. It's well known that most students are not excited and willing to do work if it is a long, hard, and boring project. If there were student-designed projects, the long, hard, and boring part would go away because students would enjoy doing a fun project created for them, by them. For example, in my economics class last year we were given a homework assignment created by one of our peers, and the amount of people who turned it in was more than the average teacher-assigned homework. In spite of teachers and other adults believing that students would get more out of teacher-designed summer projects, in reality students would most likely want to finish and would get more out of a student created, shorter, less demanding project.
