Interesting to is something that spikes curiosity, something that contains interest to people by bringing in their eye. Sort of like an art piece where to really know what the artist or author is doing you have to take a second look, and look deeper into the meanings behind what was said. This same concept is essential in student works in the same way because students need that double take most of the time to get the point they are trying to make across.

To a teacher I could see why you think most of our projects aren't interesting. You have seen it all, you have seen failed attempts to make a project interesting and just through the years you have taught you have seen so many duplicates that nothing may seem interesting. The fun fact of it all is that the students have to think outside the box. We have to think abstractly how to get the information we want across to you and then we have to change how the information is perceived.

As a DTC major I think making a project interesting is taking information that is clearly against your point and spinning it or remixing it so that it is completely and utterly agreeing with your main points. A good example would be taking a news station that is clearly one side of the political spectrum and using what we know and the abilities we have to transform it into the other sides view point completely and without odd pauses or choppy breaks. This would be an excellent idea for a project.

The worst idea for us as students to do as a project would be a simple hey I looked up this piece and yeah this is what they said. Or to Copy an idea completely this would be a work that shows that the student doesn't care about being interesting or notable.
