CH204 or CH317 as minimum experience; I treat this as a learning experience for the student rather than a "research advancement" for my research program.  A student that is interested in doing research is more important than their experience or class standing;

Classification

A lower-division student may stay with the group for several years... a PLUS.  However, the upper-division student should have a stronger background... a PLUS.
