Sure, every PR will not get accepted, thats fine. It would be best if the instructor helped students curate which projects is good candidates, and motivate students not to choose only one. The advice in the article for how to choose projects is really good imo:
- Choose a project with several active contributors.
- Choose a relatively popular project (some GitHub stars).
- Avoid very popular projects.
- Verify that you can build and run the project on your computer setup.
- Ensure the project regularly accepts pull requests from outsiders.
- Try to contribute a trivial fix as a warm-up exercise.
- Look for project issues marked as "Good first issue".
