Last month I started the ProGen 24 study group. ProGen is one of those items on my list of
courses, seminars and other things I thought I should try and complete for my
ongoing genealogical education. So far I
am enjoying it immensely.

I do best in small group learning sessions which is why I
wanted to give this study group a try.
When I was in the BU program we read sections of Professional
Genealogy but not the whole thing.
Over the last year I have looked at the book time and again on my shelf
and said “I really need to finish that.”
It’s been a great reference guide though and I use it frequently when I
need a template (even if it needs to be updated in some places).
Having interaction with a small group is great. We come from varied backgrounds and have a
wide range of skill sets. This makes the discussions thought provoking and the
views varied. Most importantly, even
though we are chatting through the computer, I get that small group interaction
which helps me retain and process information better.
To learn more about the ProGen study groups visit their website

Best of the luck with the group. I hope you get a lot out of it.
ReplyDeleteI do to. Before I signed up I spoke with several people who are wither currently enrolled or who have completed the group. They all said it was very worth while and helped them. I am only starting the 2nd assignment but it's good so far!
DeleteThat's great to hear. I think it'll be many years before I reach a similar level!
DeleteI wish you well! And please update often as this is also on my ongoing genealogical education list before I attempt certification. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! I am positive that you will hear from me occasionally about the group as time goes on.
