The Analysis and Skills Mentoring Program-Part 3 is designed to prepare you for the challenges and high standards required of a professional genealogist. The term “professional” includes the serious-minded genealogist who wants to achieve a professional standard of excellence in the quality of their family’s genealogy as well as those in the profession. This course is a continuation of problem-solving skills discussed in Part 2. Constructing a proof argument and participating in a group discussion of a scholarly article are integral to the program. The reading materials covered in the previous courses, Parts 1 & 2, will be referenced as well as some new information.
