A 9-week internship period at a library is compulsory in order to take the exam.
The examination consists of an individual project paper with the individually chosen topic of the internship period as a starting point. The paper should be of about 30 pages with approximately 600 words per page.
Projects using other media than written ones, i.e. pictures, sound, video, are possible. However, a written part of at least 20 pages is required.
Provided that the project is approved no later than in week 20 of the semester, an individual oral presentation of approximately 15 minutes will be held, followed by a discussion of approximately 15 minutes (30 minutes altogether), during week 19 of the semester. The presentation will be on a topic given by the teacher, which should be discussed based on the topic of the project, course literature, etc., and is to be prepared within half an hour immediately before the presentation. All materials and aids are permitted during the preparation.
The project and the presentation are given a joint evaluation and count for 75 % and 25 % of the final grade respectively.
