I was in the Harold B. Lee Library earlier today polishing up my capstone paper. I glanced over to a table about 10 feet away from me to see Jill Crandall, AG and the Midwestern States Research Professor at BYU holding her end of the year consultations for her students. I remember those days when I first started the family history program, how overwhelmed and lost I was. Well, I am still overwhelmed and lost plenty of the time, but as of next week, I'm graduated! Good luck to all of you who still have however many years to graduate. :)
Last week I had to defend my paper to a board of AGs. This oral defense is one of the most dreaded events of the Family History degree program. I have to say, though, it wasn't that bad. I learned a lot of great information, the board gave me some great ideas for continuing my research, and it was a great learning experience. I highly recommend the oral defense for family history majors (it is optional, not required). It definitely is for your benefit, not the board's.
