If the project were to be student-designed, then the students will feel more free because they'd be able to do their project based off of what they like, which would increase their interest in the subject of their project. With an increased sense of freedom, students will enjoy the project rather than feel as if it was just another assignment they needed to do for school. The feeling of freedom would increase their interest in the subject of their project because students would have the opportunity to design the project on what they like. This means that the students would put in more effort into the project, as they would feel they are doing what they like to do and not what they have to do. The increase in effort means that the quality of the project would be better. This is because the students would have a genuine interest in what they were doing. If summer projects were student-designed, then the students would feel more freedom, which would increase their interest in what they were meant to learn.
