text: Overall, online school offers the option for a more relaxed and low-pressure environment that is important for today's overworked students.Should students design their own summer projects? Can they design better projects than the teachers? While students may be aware of their own weaknesses and design projects to help themselves learn, students may often get stuck during certain parts of the project. These situations would become a disadvantage to the students due to their lack of prior knowledge about making projects to maximize learning. On the other hand, these situations would become advantages to students if teachers designed the project and were able to help the students to minimize time spent being stuck on certain parts of the project. Summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers have sufficient experience with students in order to select the conditions for the project that are needed to help students learn during the summer, they would have sufficient knowledge about the project in order to quickly respond to student questions during the summer, and they can communicate with students and provide feedback in order to help students take maximum advantage of the summer project to learn.
