I feel like this class has changed from what it was originally intended to be. Students used to be expected to finish their projects by building or organizing something. Students that just used the class to answer a question were looked down on. Those students just seemed to use the class to get out of English.
 Now, this class has been redesigned. It's trying to force students to conform and just do a boring research project, instead of physically accomplishing something. It's restricting seniors from going out and getting a hands-on experience. The teachers are trying to force us to have all the same things in our projects: interviews, surverys, research questions. But with the majority of our projects, we're not trying to just answer a question: we're trying to accomplish something. One of my friends is building the spring musical set for his project, and another is painting a mural in the history hallway. How is someone supposed to create questions for projects like those? I hate how the teachers are trying to make all of our projects turn out the same.
