Course Description:
Writing effective research reports can be a difficult skill to master. This course will provide instruction and hands-on experience creating each section of a report. A team of professional genealogists will share their expertise in technical writing, evidence analysis, incorporating visual elements, organizing material, time-saving strategies, and documentation. They will share examples of a variety of reporting formats covering simple to complex research problems from a variety of professional perspectives. Participants will learn both by evaluating provided reports and writing a research report during the week. Students should bring a laptop to work on practice exercises in class and complete writing assignments.
Unique Course Benefit sponsored by Legacy Tree Genealogists
As an added benefit to course participants, Legacy Tree Genealogists’ lead editor will be editing and a report submission from each student. The editor will provide feedback on participants’ writing strengths and areas for improvement, and will focus on how to make their writing more clear, concise, and understood by the potential client.
Prerequisites

The class sessions will include hands-on activities, so students should bring a laptop computer or tablet with Word or another word processing program.
