I've been enjoying reading Jeffrey Vaillant's summaries of his week at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (held January 10-14) that are posted on the California Genealogical Society and Library Blog. Jeff took the Advanced Genealogical Methodology class.taught by Thomas Jones, PhD, CG, CGL, FASG, FUGA, FNGS.
Here are the posts in this series to date:
* Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy 2011 - Jeff's Report #1
* Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy 2011 - Jeff's Report #2
* Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy 2011 - Jeff's Report #3
* Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy - Jeff's Report #4
* Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy 2011 - Jeff's Report #5
* Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy: Jeff's Report #6
While the dates on the blog are for the dates that individual classes were held, they have been posted on the CGSL blog over the past two days (Google Reader doesn't lie...).
I found it interesting to see the curriculum, the speakers and some indication of the homework load. Poor Jeff had to go research in the Family History Library every night!
I haven't taken any education courses like this, and I know that I should...so maybe it's a Christmas present for me next year? (hint hint...)
Thank you, Jeff, for drawing back the curtain a bit on this SLIG course.
UPDATED 29 January: added #6 posted this day.

Thanks, Randy, for acknowledging Jeff's hard work. I can't believe he makes time to write blog posts during his week of study. Blame me for the tardiness in getting them up on the blog.
