1SELF REFLECTION
Assessment 1
As a science student, I believe that the most important qualities that I possess are
observation, analytical skills and computational skills. Being an undergraduate student of science
in cyber security and forensic, I believe that observational, analytical and computational skills in
me would help me become efficient in my field. Cyber security professionals need to have good
computational skills apart from analytical skills as they have to compute and analyze security
system logs, security tools and data. Cyber-security professional needs to be detail oriented as
he/she has to detect any kind of changes (minor or major) or forseeing any potential problem.
Detail orientation is brought up by sharp and distinct analytical skills that would help the
professional to detect the correct aspect and take appropriate actions for it. Studying the
computer system, assessing potential risks and considering possible solutions are some of the
tasks that a forensic cyber security professional has to carry out. In order to carry out my tasks
appropriately, I would be requiring observational, analytical and computational skills and
updating my skills along with time is another important aspect that is needed to be done.
However, I have selected the study of forensic and cyber security in order to enhance my
observational, calculating and analytical skills. I am always awestruck with computer
programming languages and forensic anthropological science. The respective academic course
would help me enhance my skills in these areas for future.
Provided hereafter is the STAR model which would assess the capability of my strongest or best
skill in my professional arena.

2SELF REFLECTION
S- Situation: According to the situation provided to me in my workplace, I would rather like
to volunteer in any analytical situation or calculating task. Apart from that, in any situation, my
analytical skill has always ensured me the best possible ways to decipher a solution.
T- Task: The task that would be given to me at my workplace which would determine my
abilities, skills and competency that I possess and see to it whether I am eligible for carrying out
such scientific task or not would be carried out by me with diligence and patience. Apart from
my other hard skills, the soft skills that I possess, which are patience and perseverance would
help me achieve the highest goal in my career. Through patience and restraint and self reliance, I
would be able to carry out my tasks successfully in an organization.
A- Action: I am a pragmatic person apart from being a little theoretical in nature. I am a
science student and I have always been fascinated with pragmatism and practicality of
life. I am always overwhelmed with actions and reactions. With my analytical and
observational qualities, I have been able to understand what is wrong and what is right. In
an organizational setting, for me, action will be the highest priority. Instead of beating
around the bush with theoretical perspectives and approaches, action or pragmatic
utilization of such resources would ensure that I deliver my work properly in the
organization and excel in my field1. (importance of pragmatic skills)
R- Result: Being a science student, I have always been skeptic about coming into any kind of
concrete or water tight conclusion regarding everything or every aspect in the universe. I
believe that one should never come into a complete conclusion because nothing is permanent
except change. Therefore, I am skeptic about the results of my action but I am also particular
