text: If these projects were designed by the students then the students would be able to get more out of it. The students would be able to, with some parameters, read a book that actually interests them or research something that actually matters. The students, because they designed it, would be more interested in it and since they are more interested they would learn more about the topic. The students would see it less as something that they have to do and more like something that they want to do. Some may think that they wouldn't get more out of it because they wouldn't design a worthwhile project and in some cases that is true. However, if the students had some parameters surrounding what they could and could not do as well as help form their teachers, then they would be able to learn from the project and actually get something that they would remember out of it.
