text: Although, if you do design your own project you're responsible for everything to do with that project. Teacher's design projects to help you out and make sure that you don't go off track and stay with the assignment at hand. Even if they do that, it will probably be either something rather difficult or something you need to finish within a month. If students were in charge of that they would be able to do a project that's easiest and best for them and within a reasonable time frame.
