Wonder how much of the material is generic undergraduate methods on research applied to a genealogy theme?

Still too US based for my liking. Is it just me or is any one else annoyed by the fact she is looking off to the side most of the time?

[Romilly]

Perhaps it's a (lack of) confidence thing?

This book isn't about Mind Mapping as such, but still quite useful:

'Walking with your ancestors : a genealogist's guide to using maps and geography'
Author: Kashuba, Melinda.

To Jaywit, no.

I'm afraid if I was listening to a full lecture by her, I'd lose interest quite quickly. I get annoyed by her mannerisms as well, jaywit. She is an experienced lecturer, so shouldn't really be umming and ahhhing all the time or laughing at what seems to be a private joke!

Gosh that sounds harsh doesn't it, but once I'd noticed it I now look out for it!

She is not a lecturer rather a research fellow (her title is Knowledge Exchange Fellow) so her salary is paid from research grants she gets.  Fellows don't always teach, not the same requirement, and she may not have any formal teaching qualifications.

At a guess, maybe she has notes or an Autocue at the side? If it bothers you, there is the transcripts to use instead of watching videos

Also looking forward to Week 2. 

I am definitely in need of research plans etc as I tend to jump around like a grasshopper getting sidetracked looking for one thing ending up searching for something else
