text: Every student has his or her own method of learning. For instance, Generic_Name, a student enrolled in a French course, was assigned to study the French language and culture over the summer. Generic_Name is able to creatively develop ideas of how she could learn the language. She has the idea of traveling to Generic_City over the summer and blog about her experience in the french-speaking country. Whereas her friend, Generic_Name, would rather spend her summer indoors and enjoy her favorite movie while reading the french subtitles. The two students have creatively thought of different ideas to learn the language, yet both students will benefit from the projects as they are exercising their french skills during the summer. Therefore, student-designed projects will allow students to absorb information as well as expressing their knowledge without being limited to a certain outline.
