text: The main reason as to why I believe the projects should be both student and teacher-designed is because in the eyes of the teacher they might believe a subject is difficult and could be easily forgotten but to the students it could be the easiest subject that they have learned. The student could be stuck on a subject that the teacher found to be the easiest one out of them all. This way if both, the teacher and the student work together on designing the project it could benefit the student in the future school year. This process may take more time than it would if it was just the teacher designing it but it is more secure.
