text: Teachers are very familiar with the curriculum of their class, much more than a typical student. Given that they are more knowledgeable about the material, they are best suited to design projects for students in the summer. Many seasoned teachers know the material in the back of their hand, they know what works for students and what doesn't because they have been teaching it for several of years. It's common sense that they would be extremely familiar with what they're teaching. They've seen students come and go in their classroom and witnessed what most students tend to struggle on since students don't nearly know as much as their professors. If students wanted to design their own summer project, it would be atrocious because students simply don't have this kind of knowledge. They don't know the most effective way to design a project using the material of the class. Because teachers have this knowledge that students lack, it's clear as to why teachers can design the best summer project that forces the student to learn and be prepared for the upcoming school year.
