How Can A Mentoring Appointment Help?
Student, Judith Tracey, found the help she needed from both her course and a mentoring professor appointment. Here’s her thoughts about what it’s like to attend the International Institute of Genealogical Studies and work with a mentoring professor.
“Just a quick note to tell you that I am delighted with my tutorial with
Laurie James. She was well prepared, thorough and very personable. I am so
grateful for IIGS support with my Irish studies. They are outside of my
American Records courses and my lack of familiarity with things Irish makes
some aspects of some of the courses quite challenging. I knew from the
beginning that navigating the Irish Registry of Deeds can be difficult, but
I was not prepared for the complexities which I experienced. However,
Laurie walked me through and we did an example together, and she helped me
make sense of it. I was able to return to the collection today (five days
later) and was able to work my way through, from the index to the memorial
books, which was the objective. You can only imagine how good that makes me
feel. There is so much information in those documents that I need to
retrieve, it would be a pity to be unable to access and explore them. I am
relieved. In closing, I would like to share my positive IIGS ‘Irish experience’, both
with Claire and Laurie with other students and those considering enrolment.
Please let me know where I should post my positive remarks.”
Your happy student/client,
Judith Tracey
