text: Some may say that if the projects were student-designed, it would push them to complete the work because they were allowed a say-so in what had to be done. However, students may only focus on what topics they are extremely comfortable and familiar with because it is the easiest option. Learning occurs when one gains knowledge on things they did not know beforehand, so if they work on topics they are fond of, no learning will take place. In addition, students may not want to expand upon what they already know and challenge themselves because it is summer break, their time to be free. They are likely to do the minimum in order to be done so it leaves available time for more road trips and vacations.
