Week 3 is in the books now. This course is a lot of work. Make no mistake about it. Unfortunately for me, my assignment for week two was not as well received as the week before. Lesson learned on my part! Major take-a-way: pay attention to the smallest details! As one instructor mentioned in an online classroom video, "the smallest details can make or break your research in genealogy."
Each week there is plenty of reading from journal articles, our couse textbooks Genealogy Standards, and Professional Genealogy. There will always be a discussion question where you write an original post and then also respond to at least two other students' posts. And the weekly graded assignment.
This week's take-a-ways:
- Pay attention to all of the details, both large and small. Overlook nothing! I learned this lesson. Learn from my mistake.
- If you are unsure, simply ask a question.
- Schedule your time. You cannot do all of the readings and assignments in one day or night. That is impossible.
