text: But overall these are the reason why is hard and complex to studying venus in a up close postion.    Should student projects be designed by teachers or students? They should be designed by students, they can choose a topic that they would prefer or something that isn't too hard on them. Sometimes teachers assign work that is difficult for students to complete, and without a teachers help during the summer you could be lost with the directions they give you. Teachers could give out a really confusing rubric for the project, a student might not understand what they must do to meet the proper criteria for the project. The teacher is out for summer break too, they probably dont have the time to check their e-mail constantly to help you out when your stuck so if students would design their own projects they wouldnt have the stress and hardship of a teacher designed project.
