What comes first
dibs has no class page for C&S BIO 183, in any term it holds, that it can state prerequisites from, so it cannot say what comes before it. A page read while a class still reads Tentative does not count.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, two hours. Students are exposed to research methodology and offered a peek behind the scenes of a typical computational research project. Open to students who are new to research or about to join a research laboratory. These students benefit from learning topics about research design, planning, and execution of a project and its culmination as a published research article. Study adopts a reductionist (as much as possible) approach, and focuses on some specific research questions and methods of addressing them. Faculty guests present a compilation of key research papers that tackles specific problems in their field. Students complete an in-depth analysis of the papers and formulate projects that mirror the research problems and solutions as described in the paper. Letter grading.
