REFLECTION I have learned about the short story entitled Shame by Shirley Geok, I have also learned about

the Baba Nyonya culture. As I reflect upon on my strengths and weaknesses as related to this task, I think that the old saying about how my "greatest weakness became my greatest strength" applies here. One of the problems I first encountered for this task was not being able to get an immediate answer when I was having difficulty with something. In the beginning of the semester there was an adjustment period, but as the semester progressed and as I began to work with the system, I learned to be less dependent on the instructor and more dependent on me. I think this was a good learning experience. Sometimes I need to answer far too many questions easily search for the answer. As a distance-learning student, I found that it was important to work independently to find solutions to problems. This is where my critical thinking skills came in handy. I don't mean to disregard the need for the learning community, but being an independent learner enables a student to be a better member of that learning community. So, to summarize, my greatest weaknessthe inability to access information instantlybecame my greatest strengthmy ability to become an independent learner and achiever. In closing, I would like to add that I have really enjoyed the experience of this class. It has been good for me to learn first-hand what this distance learning is all about. Thank you for your help and patience.
