text: The most essential point and the whole purpose of the project is the grading, which, with a teacher-designed project, is easier on the teacher than a student-designed one. One of the key factors to this is that a teacher CAN have a set rubric to her own project, which will make grading go by easier and more accurately. Opposing this, when the project is student-designed, there will be multiple projects, forcing the teacher to spend more time grading them and not as efficiently. With this idea being kept in mind, the more efficient and faster way to grade projects is to have them be teacher-designed as opposed to student-design.
