My difficulty in ENV102 module regarding calculation in Chapter 4          When I was introduced with the ENV102 module for the first time in the class, I faced difficulty such as I could not connect the concept of population theory with the present day. In general, I had trouble in the ENV102 module's chapter four, "Basic Measures of Population Growth" (calculation for Arithmetic Growth, Geometric Growth and Exponential Growth), in three areas such as formula interpretation, its parameters of application and the differences among them.           Firstly, when our lecturer presented chapter 4 of the ENV102 module, titled "Basic Measures of Population, " in class using the three formulae of arithmetic growth, geometric growth and exponential growth, I was startled and unable to understand what was being discussed. Our instructor just stated the formulae without explaining their context. For instance, Pt2=Pt1(1+rt) was the formula for arithmetic growth. I was perp
