text: Students who have already taken the class know exactly what the teacher expects from a student in order to have an A or a B in the class. For example Generic_Name, who is taking Prerequisite Chemistry, has failed almost every test and quiz in the class, but fully understands the concepts being taught. Soon he realizes that the teacher expects every bit of work to be shown for every single problem. This includes showing the formula before you even start your work. Knowing this a student would be able to inform another student of this in the summer project. This would allow the students to prepare to show all their work on the tests and quizzes by practicing on the summer project. Many teachers try to make an example on the first quiz by taking points off for students not showing all their work. With the student made project other students would be prepared for this and not fail by forgetting to show all their work. Another example of a student knowing what the teacher expects is when the teacher makes all the work optional including the summer project but, still expects you to know the information. In the summer packet students will be able to inform other students of what information is important to know going into that first week of school. This will allow the students who complete the assignment to be prepared for the school year. Even if the teacher helps the students by telling them the more important information on the packet students who have already taken the class know the basic knowledge needed to pass the class and know what student are willing to do.
