text: Another reason why summer projects should be student-designed is because students would be more likely to complete it. When assigned with unwanted work, many students divert to the option of just not doing it. Not only does this defeat the purpose of the assignment because the students will not learn anything, it also puts these students at a disadvantage to those who did, and gives them a bad grade to start off with before school even starts. However, if the students get to design the project and pick a subject or topic they would like to do, it would make them much more likely to complete it. For example, a lot of the reason why many of these students do not complete their work is because they have other interests that they prioritize over school. However, if they were able to design and conduct an experiment concerning one of these interests, they would be much more motivated to get it done. In the end, summer projects should be student-designed, because students would be more likely to do them.
