text: If students are able to design their own projects they would be able to work at their own pace. Most projects are due at the end of the summer when school starts, however, some projects are due within a month or two after school gets out, which can probably take up most of the summer. If the students are able to design the projects themselves, the time in which they turn in their projects could be a month after school starts or a day after school ends. The good thing about working at your own pace is that there's less stress. No stress means you have more fun, which brings me to my next point.
