text: If students were to design summer projects for themselves then they wouldn't be remembering as much if teachers design it because students would just make the work really easy so they wouldn't have to do much. Also if students made them then there would be a higher chance of the students cheating because a student could make something that is very similar to another students work and the teacher wouldn't even know. And the students could have just thought of the same idea and then they turn it in and the teacher thinks they cheated when it was just a coincidence so they get in trouble for thinking similarly.
