text: Greater involvement in a project tends to create better results. Having students be more involved with their projects is beneficial not only to students but teachers as well. For students it encourages them to be creative and enables them to have more freedom to do what they want with their project, I mean isn't it fair? Their the ones working on their break. Giving them creative freedom is a small but generous favor that will innate better work. For example if a teacher were to design the project it would have a lot of unnecessary requirements and restrictions that limit their students from reaching their full potential causing students to get more upset about the project and less willing to put in the work for it. Teachers benefit in the way that they know their students will try to learn and discover something knew in these projects and that they aren't just wasting their time. Teacher designed projects tend to makes projects similar to everyone else's project as well as less interesting to work on.
