text: Teachers can still decide if they will take the project for a grade, or if it will not be nessecary. Teachers have this ability because they are the ones that have to take the time out of their day to grade, and make these assignments. While most people would think that teachers would make this something you need; some probably will not because of how much time it takes to grade, especially in the beginning of the year. Faculty can also say it is not something you need because: like teachers, they can also want students to have a nice relaxing break without worrying them about a paper or assignment they have to do over break.
