text: Me being a student I find it easier for my teacher to post the directions online, its faster and just incase I need help on the assignment, I can ask one of my classmates who have the class or are planning on taking the class for extra help if needed. Teacher-designed projects are also easier for the teacher to understand, for example, during the summer I had two summer projects and both of them were created by my teachers, once they were turned in by majority of the students, they were quickly graded and in the grade book. Having the directions already sorted out saves you a lot of time and saves you a major headache because you'll already have somewhat of an idea of what the professor expects from their students, as well as it's easier for them because they'll already have known everything thats supposed to be done and could help you understand if you didn't meet the requirements.
