text: When you have been assigned a summer assignment by your teacher, how many times have you dreaded it knowing that it will be many boring hours of work that could have been spent with friends? For most people, they felt this way every time. Instead of frustrating students like teacher-designed projects do, student-designed projects will motivate students to pursue their passions and actually do research and work on subjects that they care about. In addition, student-designed projects are far more fulfilling to complete than a repetitive teacher-designed project that assigns the same couple of directions to every single student. In simple terms, student-designed projects are far more enjoyable and fulfilling for students and they will not spoil a student's summer break.
