Reflective wwriting on the Pre-sessional course and university study

So far so good! The Pre-sessional english course is almost finished and I am quite satisfied with me. School atmosphere make me feel blissfully happy, everywhere. I have learnt from it lots of useful things which undoubtedly will return helpful for my Master. With this course I have refreshed basic knowledges, seen how write an academic essay in the proper way, connect ideas each other, paraphrasing in my own words and much more. The interactive way used by teachers, as well as seminars and lectures, is quite stimulating, rather different from the italian one where method is more static.
The person who planned the Pre-sessional course is a GENIUS! The last month has oriented our attention on our subject area, laying the foundations for our further studies. Frankly, I have spent barely more than one year neglecting my chemical-physical-polimeric concerns. Therefore, it is time to BONE UP ON everything that is related closely with polymers. The sooner I start, the better!

Essay Conclusion

In conclusion, material science is synonymous with innovation and new opportunities from which everyone can obtain benefit and capitalize on. The globalisation of polymeric commodities and consumer goods accessible to all has unified many aspects of people’s everyday life worldwide, for better or for worse. Plastic pollution is just one among the hints that have make grow an environmental awareness in the people, which must lead to a more efficient and widespread use of renewable sources and recyclable materials. Health hazards are also concerns that clearly have to be analysed first than all the others because every single person’s life is priceless, as well as planet conservation. Things are changing with fast pace within polymer science today. The run towards new enhancements presupposes nanopolymers everywhere. Notwithstanding, there is need to view where it goes in order to not plasticize more tastes and scents of our world.

I reckon my introduction has and focused with different words the main ideas previously mentioned within the essay. There are some general overview I personally share, aims and predictions for the future. A little provocation can be get from the last phrase...

Topping off, I am rather satisfy for the global result.

Library resources for globalisation research

I have borrowed three books from the University Library:

* Scott G.: Polymers and The Environment. RSC 1999

* Khemani K. and Scholz C.: Degradable Polymers and Materials - Principles and Practice. ACS,Washington DC, 2005

* Bower D.I. : An Introduction to Polymer Physics. CUP, Cambridge, 2002.

All of them are high-specific for polymers, they show mechanism of reactions, formulae, the inner chemical matter, very very little about globalisation. However, I have taken some good quote from them about my essay issue and its concerns related with chemistry, material science and polymers. The last one is also one of the books I will have to use for my Master, even if I pass this month!!!
