- pedrosorio 11y agoAs opposed to everyone else who will get a higher score than they would've gotten before. That means your grade will be worse than it would've been otherwise when compared to your peers (which is the only useful meaning of a grade).

It's not a great idea to lump the two together, nearly always one or the other suffers if the project is non-trivial. But even then one can suffer, it's just spread out across all classes instead of the individual class. Project courses are tricky to integrate into a curriculum well.
