@Xedrik, I tell all of my classes "I want you to fail!" Failing means you tried to do something you weren't sure you could do. I'm much happier (and give better grades) when a student makes an effort on a project (even if it "doesn't work") than if they give "good work" that didn't challenge them.
The other day I heard Brian Eno say something that I'm going to use as my classroom motto this year: "I can't do this well, so let's see what interesting ways I can fail at it."
