<p>Hello,
I want to take this course over the summer this year. However, the page says "This course will include a component of laboratory based independent research and a final paper in the form of a grant proposal."</p>
<p>What does that mean? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>quidditchcat, based on your other posts, are you a high school student? This is an upper-level course and has prerequisites of BISC 219 (Molecular Genetics), BISC 220 (Cellular Physiology) and CHEM 211 (Organic Chemistry). The course description sounds like it will include independent research and writing a grant proposal.</p>
<p>While summer courses at Wellesley are open to high school juniors and seniors, I’m pretty sure any prerequisites will still need to be met. You may want to consider other courses with no prerequisites.</p>
<p>If you’re a high school student, I’d suggest taking 100 level courses only. IF you have the prerequisites then take a 200 level course, though I can only think of the languages, math, etc where that would be feasible.</p>
