text: A summer assignment should be able to provide insight on what a student may experience in class. The assignment can provide the student with a preview of the class' standards and expectations,which are established by the teachers. For example, a student has signed up for a course that is not academically challenging, by completing the summer assignment they will be able to see that it isn't challenging and request to be placed in a higher leveled and paced course. An assignment created by a teacher also provides insight to the pace of the course, and students can see if any modifications can be done. If a student is having problems completing or understanding the summer assignment they are given the opportunity to ask for courses that have slight modifications in order to provide the best method of learning for the student. A summer assignment designed by a teacher would allow students to gain knowledge of the course, and allows them to establish changes or modifications that would conform to their learning styles.
