Back by popular demand! This is a practicum course constructed specifically for intermediate-level genealogists. Come test your skills in a guided practicum course.
Intermediate Evidence Analysis Practicum, coordinated by Angela Packer McGhie, CG, FUGA, provides step-by-step guidance for engaging in genealogical research through hands-on experience solving two research problems. This course features a combination of individual work toward solving a case, as is typical in the SLIG advanced practicum, along with group work on research planning and instruction on analysis strategies for touch cases.
Participants will put their research skills into practice while receiving structure and guidance. Students will work together to analyze background information and create a research plan for each case, and then conduct individual research online, track findings, analyze and correlate information, and report conclusions.
The weekly sessions permit time for students to conduct research on a case, gather to discuss their progress with classmates, conduct further research, and learn to write up conclusions. Students should plan to spend ten to twenty hours per week researching the cases to get the most out of the course.
This course is perfect for genealogists who are not quite ready for the challenge of the Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum course or anyone who wants to work through each step of a case with guidance.
Faculty includes Angela Packer McGhie, CG, FUGA, and Karen Stanbary, MA, LCSW, CG.
Intermediate Evidence Analysis Practicum is scheduled to meet online on Thursdays 9:00 am to 1:30 pm Mountain Time, October 19 through November 16, 2023.
