Where Did I Put That?: Lessons in Organizing Our Work (Training and Education)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm HHSC, Room 201
INSTRUCTOR: JANET BAILEY
This Educational Event will be a cross between an old fashioned quilting bee
[where we share our designs, ideas, successes, and failures], and a
collaborative seminar on organizing our research, our files, and our writing.
I am hoping it will be a comfortable way to share our experiences and learn
from one another!
As your "teacher" I will start the discussions and send you information on
what you can bring to the first class. I am hoping this twist on the regular
CLASS experience will help us to benefit from shared ideas that will help
move our research forward. If we want to meet again, something will be
set up at that time.
To register for the class, please send an email with the class name and
date, and your name and phone number to Amy Breedlove at
albreedlove@comcast.net. Thank you.
