I'm hoping someone might teach in a University in Indonesia who might be able to give me some information.
My step-daughter has just started a course in Pharmacology at Gorontalo University but is struggling to cope with the demands.
She is currently ill due to not having enough to eat and not having enough sleep and would have been put on a drip yesterday but she was afraid so refused the drip.
She tells me that she fainted at University last week because she was so tired.
She has to be at University by 7am every day including Sundays and doesn't get home until evening and then has to complete homework which has to be handed in the next day which can involve reading from up to 5 books.
She tells me that sometimes she is getting no more than an hours sleep because of the amount of work she is being given.
She started in August and tells me that a semester is 6 months without any breaks. Surely that can't be correct is it ?
I think she is pretty bright and is also very diligent. When she was in SMA she always organised her own homework without me ever having to coerce her or give her advice on when and how to do it but completely understand why she is struggling after talking to her.
Is the amount of work she is being given usual or are they trying to sort out the students that will drop out when the going gets tough ?
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can give me
