Should You Publish Your Undergraduate Student's Projects?

Most academics and researchers now rely on their undergraduate students’ final year projects as an important research resource. These projects provide opportunities to test out new procedures, methodologies and theories at relatively low cost to the researcher. Nevertheless, no matter how much you might closely supervise this research there is still a nagging doubt that you have delegated important research to a relatively inexperienced individual. How do you decide whether the research they have delivered is worthy of writing up and publishing? Below is a flow-chart that allows the inexperienced junior lecturer to make some decisions about publishing an undergraduate project[1].

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with publishing your projects as long as you know that it will help a lot of people. What I mean is as long as you are sure that it is something worth sharing then why not? I also had the same kind of project back when I was just in College and what my professor did is he published our work since she said that it will definitely help a lot of other students that need to do the same research. I must say that the feeling is so good upon knowing that there are people you will be able to help through you own work.
