text: Second, a teacher-designed project allows a student to learn relevant information for the coming year. If a student were to design their own project, it is likely that while they would be choosing a topic that interests them, would not be relevant to the coming year. At Generic_School, for example, teachers of advanced classes such as Pre-Calculus AB require students to complete a summer project. The project contains a review of the content in previous math courses required to take the class, as well as an in-depth introduction to the course, enabling students to be more prepared for their first day of class. Were there no required assignment or students be allowed to create their own review and introduction, there is no doubt they would not be as prepared, as they do not have the same knowledge of their courses as their teacher. After all, it is a teacher's job to ensure that students be prepared for the next level of education; providing students with helpful information that will be relevant towards the next year will allow them to do just that.
