Portfolio 4: What difficulties do you have writing in your engineering classes?

There are three reasons why I have difficulties writing in engineering classes. The first reason is lecture slides given by the lecturer is too brief and at times I cannot understand what the lecturer is teaching. The second reason is the pace of the lectures are going too fast for me, two chapters are covered each week and before I can finish the readings for the first chapter of the week, I have to prepare myself for the second. The last reason is about tutorials going through answers on topics that the lectures have yet to cover which makes the pace go even much faster. With these problems that I am facing now, I resolved them by working much harder, finish the readings of the two chapters before the start of the week so when I attend the lectures, I will not be so lost and if I have any doubts, I will clarify with the professor at the end of the lecture. Besides finishing the readins earlier, I also purchase the textbook so there are more examples for me to read through to understand the module better. For tutorials, I will also finish reading up the topic that will be covered and also attempt the questions. I will continue to improve by reading the topics again and clarifying problems with the tutors at the clinic, look up for more examples in books and the internet for me to practice and to form study groups with friends to catch up on the notes and tips given by the professor that I might not have managed to take down during lectures.
