Course enrollment: ME-101 - Methodology - Part 1: Getting Started

If I was brand-new to genealogy, I'd easily give this course 5 stars. It's laid out well and provides step-by-step information and exercises that are easy to follow. The course contains solid information. In fact, I recommended it to a couple friends who are just starting out in genealogy. For those of us who aren't beginners -- and let's face it, most people taking this course are probably pursuing a certificate -- it's far too easy. So much time is spent on paper pedigree charts and family group sheets, which I didn't even use when I started on this hobby 30 years ago -- I used a computer program. I finished the course in 4 days. I think there should be a way to test. I wouldn't mind if I was still required to take 40 classes, but an elective would have been more beneficial for me. So if you're new to genealogy, this course will be an excellent fit. If you're not new and aren't going for a certificate, skip this one. If you aren't new and ARE going for a certificate, you'll fly right through.
