text: Confidence is very important when it comes to a project. According to statistics, 85 percent of students projects are terrible and bland when it's teacher-designed. With that being said, student-designed projects boosts the students confidence and make the student also put effort into the project. Most of the time, when I'm given a teacher-designed project, I don't put enough thought into it because I think i'll already get a bad grade . Even when i do put my all into a teacher-designed project, I still get second thoughts on if i should turn it in. Many students around my school have been complaining that the teacher-designed projects leads them into a deep depression because their aren't sure if the following project would make their grade drop drastically. Most of the time when teachers give out a project they expect the student have prior knowledge on the topic but most of the time, that doesn't be the case.
