Some professors don't factor in school - life balance. They are of the opinion that your priority should be school. Are they wrong? Would it be improper to assume that the student by taking the course is making a commitment towards it? How are the other students handling this? If it seems that this is posing difficulty across the board then you have all you need to talk to the instructor about this. If this poses a difficulty for you then talk to the program in charge and ultimately the Dean's office. There are ways to submit grievances and complaints. Also, your student Union is a resource for you. They provide you with means to help you. That help could be help regarding time management but that help could also be advocating on your behalf if it is found the expectations are truly unreasonable. But this is the key here. You need to establish the requirements as being beyond reasonable expectations. Talk to others taking the course and find out their opinions. Are they having difficulty too? If not, then what are they doing differently to manage it?
