Portfolio 4

The module MLE 1101is a quite tough module to me. The name of this module is "Material Science and Engineering: An introduction". This module comes in the scopes of many fields about material, such as the basic property of material, the structure of polymer and composite and so on. I have two main difficulties in learning this module.
The first difficulty I encounter in this module is that there are quite a lot terms about organic substance which are quite long and hard to memorize. What is worse, most of the organic substances have more than one name! For instance, the substance ethene whose chemical formula is C2H4, is also called ethylene! This really puzzles me at the beginning of the module. It is only a very sample substance and the name of the more complex matter will be even harder to recognize and memorize. While now I find that there are disciplines in naming the matter, though it is not as systematical as the way named in Chinese, I find a bit better in dealing with it.
The second difficulty is the accent of the lecturer. Above all, all the lecturers are very profound, but at the beginning I cannot adjust to their accents of English. For example, the first professor would like to pronounce the word "atom" like "ATAUM", which makes me quite bemused and confused at first. The longer terms of this module are even more difficult to understand. However, with time going by, I adapt to their accent more or less.
Those are the two difficulties that I come across in learning the module MLE 1101.

Oh, you have difficuliters to memorize the word and understand lecturer. It is said that writting is toughest when answering MLE questions, don't you have that problem?

Firstly, it was MLE 1101, not MLE 1505. Secondly, the content was well organized and elaborated. Actually, I faced the similar problems learning this module.
