(scroll down for specific schedule)<\/p>\n

Organizing\u00a0information is an important part of\u00a0genealogical\u00a0research-perhaps more important than the actual research. This short course (only 3 sessions) is intended to provide the students with exposure to a variety of ways to organize information with an emphasis on problem-solving. The course will consist of three lectures (topics and schedule below), problem assignments, virtual follow-up discussions, group discussion board interaction, and student submission of work (optional). There is no assigned grade-you get from this what you put into it. Students will also be able to share their work and ideas with other students.<\/p>\n

Citation of sources is important, but presentations will not focus on citation theory.<\/p>\n

This time the course will be presented a little bit differently. Students will be able to download the lecture and view it at their convenience-ideally all on the same day that the download link is sent to\u00a0registered students<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Students will have time\u00a0to view the presentation, discuss or ask questions on the bulletin board and submit optional homework before the class discussion via GotoWebinar. The lectures can be downloaded permanently for later reference.<\/p>\n

Course\u00a0registration is only $36 (click “pay with debit or credit card” if you don’t use PayPal”)\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0for this run of the course. Class size is limited to 30 to encourage group interaction.<\/p>\n
