text: Many might say that giving the choice of the projects to the students is a poor idea because they will choose the easiest, non-relevant, topics to work on, but that thought is incorrect. Giving the student the choice will cause them to choose a topic they are interested in and willing to work on, that even may not have been looked into before. For example-- The environmental study that found bird populations in the United States desert were decreasing jurassicly due to heat exhaustion was conducted as a summer college project. Without this amazing topic choice by the student, the study may not have ever been done. Environmentalist may have completely skipped over the fact that the bird population in the desert had almost decreased by 33% without this student chosen topic.
