text: Finally, a third reason why student-designed summer assignments are ineffective lies in experience. A student completes assignments; rarely does one design one. In designing an assignment, one looks at the course as a whole and pick specifics to create questions around. Students, however, do not have the experience in creating questions with proper language, and it is rare that a student designs a summer assignment and can ask questions the same way that a teacher would. In CS Research class, we are asked to create questions before we learn content. In concept, this works out well, since we answer our own questions as we learn the unit. The flaw in this lies in the students not knowing what the teacher wants us to ask about. The inability to create questions regarding a topic that one hasn't learned yet is a main reason why that class has a low average grade. This conclusion can be further extrapolated and applied to summer assignments. The incapability to create questions leads to failure to create a fundamental foundation of the course content.
