Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: REASONS TO LEAVE THE COURSE.This study aimed the investigation of the reasons that led undergraduate students of the Chemistry course at Universidade de Brasília to abandon the course before its conclusion.From the former students' point of view, the reasons that led them to leave the course were related to aspects of their academic life prior to university entrance, expectations which failed to be met by the course, the intricate nature of the academic system, personal and social experiences.Abandonment is a consequence of the problems he encounters during the course and takes on a connotation of protest, more than of failure.
