  promote a serious state of mind and to avoid
  liability issues.

Costs?

• Students should avoid expensive projects. Great
  learning occurs without spending a lot of money
  so costs do not need to be a worry for families.
• Students also need to be realistic about project
  costs. Be up-front about the financial support
  for the project.

Quotes from Students
The project prepared me for future options. I
changed my mind about my dream job after I
investigated my first choice. This project will
change who you are. Linda (2007)

• This project showed me more about what its
  really like in the work place. My skills
  improved and it was easy to accomplish piece by
  piece.
• Craig (2007)

• Not knowing what I wanted as a career, I took a
  different path with my project and chose a hobby
  of mine. I learned more about photography and
  grew a new respect for it. Once a hobby, now my
  passion.
• Tiffany (2007)

• I wish I hadnt procrastinated. I ended up
  having a lot of fun with my project.
