Brand new course Critical Thinking Methods for Your Genealogy Breakthroughs invites us all to ask ourselves, "What if you could use processes and tools that access your brain in new ways...to solve your genealogical challenges?" Explore the exciting opportunity to learn these new techniques and expand your ability to apply critical thinking to your genealogy research questions.
What is Critical Thinking?
Course coordinator Jan Joyce, DBA, CG, CGL, AG says, "Critical thinking includes concepts, analysis, evaluation, and correlation." Students will get to explore various tools and processes, including sessions on brainstorming, power searching, literature review, active learning, and more. Students will also be taught essential skills such as examining bias and assumptions, mindful transcription, and critical writing. At its core, this course will allow you to develop how you examine your research and approach genealogy research questions while improving your best research tool...you!
Interactive Coursework
Work in this course is specifically designed to engage the student in interactive learning. Multiple opportunities to network and learn with other students are engaged in through working with partners, roundtable discussions, learning exercises, and even games. Skills and processes learned during the course are also enhanced by incorporating workshop sessions where students can dig in and practice incorporating newly learned skills. Option homework assignments will also allow students to take themselves further in their in-depth educational journey to becoming skilled critical thinkers.
