text: To begin with, if the summer project was student-designed, the students will have a better work ethic towards the project. For example, science fair is a project where nearly everyone has a very memorable and enjoyable time participating. One of the main reasons students enjoy science fair so greatly is because the project you choose is completely unique to you! This makes the students have a strong work ethic towards the project because it is something that they are interested in. If the project is chosen by someone other than their self, you may get a topic that is not interesting to you. this can make your work ethic and overall enjoyment of the project go down dramatically. The more work ethic you have while doing a project, the more relaxed, content, and willing to learn the students will be.
