Our class project isn't a sentence it is a subject or an object, so it cannot stand alone. A class project is an assignment that is usually given to students to develop on their own or in small groups. Let's say for instance the teacher tells the students that everyone needs to build a battery and then they need to make something that can use the battery's energy, such as an electrical light. Sometimes the students compete for recognition or prizes for these projects.

It's prestigious stands alone as a sentence. It means that something or someone is given honor and therefore respected. It can be a job or a membership of a club. In Cincinnati there is a club called the "Banker's Club." It is located on top of a one of the largest buildings in the city. It has only private members that are business owners or professionals. You have to have achieved a great deal in life and behave on a certain level before they will allow you to join. Only very prestigious individuals are allowed. They are respected. It is a very prestigious membership.

A win will go on our permanent record is a complete sentence, and it means that if the students win the class project, the honor will become part of his or her permanent school records. So later, when they go to college or apply for a position with a company, they can present their achievement. It is on their permanent record.

To win a first place award for our class project would be a very prestigious honor. A win would go on our permanent record.

You might as well tell them, Mr. Schneebly.

This is a complete sentence and might as well is an idiom that we use when we have been delaying doing something, because we are waiting for the right moment, but then we decide that it isn't going to make a difference whether we do it now or later. So, we might as well do it, because the consequences or results will be the same.

They're awesome. Zack is an insane guitarist.

Zack is is a member of a musical group that plays extremely well. Their playing just makes the speaker really excited and enthusiastic for their sound. And Zack plays so well that it is like having an insane thought to actually believe that he can play that well.
