At the end of week four I had redemption. My assignment for the previous week was graded and I did very well. I was very happy and relieved from the following week's crash and burn. The project for week four included researching and studying various passenger manifests. We also had to correlate data found in those documents with other documents that were provided. There was a lot of research and document analysis for last week's assignment.
As I begin week five it is very noticeable that the amount of reading has dramatically increased. We will be reading an article from the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, one chapter in Professional Genealogy, and five chapters in The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy. There will be the usual discussion post and an assignment on DNA due this coming Sunday night.
This appears to be an enormous amount of reading. Especially if the student is working full-time. Living in the Northeast we have major snow and ice storms supposedly rolling in. I suggest that the student budget his or her time very wisely to successfully get through this week.
