fun fact: 1 ECTS is typically considered to roughly correspond to 28 hours of student effort, which means that it is a perfectly cromulent unit of time.
examples include:
- “the Factorio Pyanodon modpack is typically about 55 ECTS of gameplay”
- “unless signs indicate otherwise, the speed limit is 1000 miles/ECTS in the city limits”
- “the atmospheric pressure at sea level is typically around a kilotonne per nanometer per ECTS squared”
the latter should not be confused with academic pressure, however, which is measured in the dimensionless “ECTS per semester”
@mei this does not include ECTS where you have both labwork and regular exams, so I propose ECTS²
