<p>Is it something that only the geniuses do and will you be spending all your time in the lab or reading and writing papers? I haven’t done any research yet, but after reading the description, regular research courses seem hard enough.</p>
<p>Silly question, but what’s honors research? Never heard of it, and at my uni a research job is a research job.</p>
<p>If you’re talking about a research course your high school offers, it will obviously depend on what your school is like.</p>
<p>At my school, the honors Research Design (and former Research & Experimentation) course usually involves its students going around the school and asking people in the hallways if they can taste the difference between normal Coke and Cherry Coke. </p>
<p>(-_-)</p>
<p>Or, alternatively, they might try two different brands of lemonade.</p>
<p>Or, hot chocolate.</p>
<p>Which sums up to say that the class is rather meaningless, and nearly all students who take it take it out of a requirement under certain school programs.</p>
<p>The good side about the course at my school is that, if you’ve done meaningful research over the summer (at a university, medical center, whatever), you can spend the classtime to make reports, displays, articles, etc. of your own for presenting at a science fair or submitting to a contest or science journal.</p>
