Having a teacher planned project can be very beneficial because students more times than not, when doing something they don't like, they end up getting offtask or going the easy way out. That is why they need to have structure and guidelines. What ends up happening is when a student is struggling they procrastinate or end up not doing it at all. This branches from when students have difficulty coming up with their own ideas and are stuck trying to figure out what to do. That is why having a teacher based project is more effective because students are given what they need all they have to do is complete the assignment.
