text: Sincerely, STUDENT_NAMEShould summer projects be student or teacher designed? Some schools require students to do projects over the summer to assure that they are learning during their long break. These projects wouldn't be short because of the two month long summer break. Whoever doing it would have to plan out the whole project. Projects given to students should be teacher designed because they have more experience, they would challenge the students, and they have more knowledge about the subject than the students do.
