text: If a student designs the project they could actually enjoy working on it and brainstorming it. Most projects students are given by teachers feel like a hassle and its just not something they want to spend there free time doing. It should be something they enjoy doing rather then dread working on it. I know for a fact I would rather brainstorm and come up with an idea that I like rather then be given a strict set prompt and rubric I have to follow. If the students can enjoy the project then there are more likely to put more effort, time in to it and be more passionate about the topic they are assigned.
