text: As technology continues to advance, students should be able to take advantage of such improvements and take online classes in order to achieve more outside of school, reduce their stress, and be able to afford their desired schools. Some critics to this idea have stated that the value of a face to face education where questions can be asked and answers can be quickly given will be lost with the online system. However this is not true, because the new technology allows for conference calls between students and teachers that can afford them the opportunity to ask questions and receieve answers in a timely fashion. Online classes have excellent potential, and students should be able to utilize such potential to achieve their goals. Have you ever had a poorly designed project? To try and minimize this occurrence, some schools have started to question whether summer projects should be student-designed or teacher-designed. While some may argue that student-designed projects are better because they fit the individual learning style of each student, this factor becomes insignificant when the students don't learn the material they are expected to. With them being teacher-designed, the projects would be more organized, there would be more time left for the students to focus on extracurricular activities and homework, and all course content would be covered. This is ultimately why these summer projects should be teacher-designed.
