What is PAKETH?
The project PAKETH (in German: Prüfungen und Akademischer Kalender an der ETH) aims to create a more balanced workload and longer recovery periods for students through various adjustments.
The changes concern:
- New academic calendar: The examination period will be completed in July. The end-of-semester examinations, annual courses and examination blocks will no longer exist.
- Teaching optimisation and workload monitoring: The students' workload is to be distributed more evenly.
- Linking of course units/performance assessments: Registration for a course unit will count as examination registration.
- Harmonisation of programme regulations: The programme regulations will have a similar structure.
