Where DOK-2012 is taken as a specialist subject in a Documentary Science course of study, it is recommended that the student should already have taken the preliminary year''s study in Documentary Science (DOK-1010, 1011, 1012 andDOK-1016). If DOK-2012 is taken as an optional subject, it is recommended that DOK-1010-1012 should be taken before embarking on one of the specialist subjects (DOK-2010, DOK-2011 or DOK-2012).
The course literature is in Norwegian and English.

The project must be submitted electronically onto the institute''s Internet site by the end of the project period at the latest. The project assignment must also be submitted in paper form.
It is possible to submit project using media other than writing, e.g. pictures, sound and video. In the case of group projects, an overview of how the work was apportioned between group members must be enclosed.
In the event of the project being accepted, an oral presentation (approx. 15 minutes) must be given, with subsequent discussion (approx. 15 minutes). This will take place in the last week of the course (usually week 18 in the semester). The presentation must be based on a given theme, which should be drawn from the project theme and literature studied, etc.; the presentation must be prepared in the half-hour immediately before the presentation. All materials and resources are permitted during this preparation. The project and the oral presentation each count for 50% of the total grade.
