text: Another pattern among students that are assigned teacher-designed projects is that they wait until the last minute to start working. If a teacher-designed project is due on the first day of the second week of school, it is very likely that students will not start their "summer" projects until after school year has already begun. On the other hand, the more enjoyable student-designed projects will actually motivate most students to do something with all the time they have off during summer. Thus, students will be less likely to procrastinate and they will actually do their work in a timely, efficient manner instead of waiting for the last minute.
