2REFLECTIVE ESSAY
This essay is going to reflect my learning from the research process that has been
conducted by me in due course of the study. A research process is indeed helpful to develop
expertise and cognitive idea pertaining to a topic. Hence, it has helped me develop a clearer and
fathomer understanding of the learning that I have been studying for years. Through the research
I have tried to develop my understanding thus demonstrating my learning arena. The research
paper was about the cyber attacks and the malpractices through the cyber cells. In this matter of
fact, it can be stated that the specific understanding pertaining to overall cyber crime and the
global movement has been highly inducing for me in its basic terms. Before reflecting deep into
the topic, I would rather prefer to develop my idea on LE (Learning Experience).
Learning Experience:
Learning experience is an interaction, course or a program, in which learning takes place-
irrespective of the setting (traditional or non- conventional). The traditional setting for the
learning is nothing but the class rooms, schools or other academic institutions. On the contrary,
the non-conventional learning experience is conducted through non- institutionalized process.
This is a case that has to be taken into certain account whether an individual wants to focus on
the specific learning setting. However, standing on 2017, the non-conventional setting or the
non- institutionalized setting is prioritized. As a matter of fact, this has to be taken into certain
account that empirical understanding has been quite effective in developing practical concepts
and ideas on any area of subjects for a learner. This is how, in modern study, the empirical
learning experience is given priority. Since this is highly practicality oriented process, the entire
concept has to be developed through the basic concept of learning.

Value of Learning Experience:
Followings are the values of learning experience:
i) It develops practical concept on any subject
ii) It helps create professional conceptualization of the subject of study
iii) It involves fun learning process thus engaging maximum number of the learners.
iv) It develops the potential to choose the behavioral concept associated with the
learning activities
v) It helps change the individual behavior and his or her tendency to encapsulate the
entire knowledge of the subject through practical implementation
Service of learning Experience:
In this concept it can be stated that the specific understanding has to be taken into
certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of how the specific course
would be settled. The procurement of specific understanding has to be developed through
effective consideration of the learning method. However, it needs to be taken into certain
account that the service of learning experience is quite helpful for the assimilation of the
learning process and thought generation through practical implementation. In my case, I
have been highly benefited with different segments for the specification of the issues
where I would be developing my knowledge in compliance with my practical
understanding.
Course:
In the course, my subject understanding on cyber security would help me
develop a cognitive idea. It would further help me increase my social awareness as it has

direct involvement in my social understanding. As a matter of fact, it has the direct
impact upon the basic understanding of the process with its different consequence.
However there has been a specific reference for the curse development as well. For
instance, the way I have involved myself in the process of investigation has led to the
generation of its view at par. However, this has been taken into certain consideration
pertaining to the effective understanding where the entire course depended on the concept
development process more that getting mark in the assessments. There takes place the
difference between examination and assessment. Through the course, I have developed
the idea regarding the types of cyber security crimes- sabotage and breach. It has also
provided me ample scope to study on the regulations and laws associated with the
criminal activities in different countries.
Program:
Through the programs on the laws and regulations associated with cyber security
crime, I have had practical knowledge on how this is mitigated and fought against. This is
highly effective for the purpose of special investigation process. My research paper have
actually helped me develop a time frame of my own where I can identify my strength
regarding the subject and my weakness as well. For instance, while going through the
theoretical approach, I was highly effective for the special understanding of the cases
where this would be taken into certain consideration for the effective understanding of
the issues.

Future Career:
My learning experience would definitely uphold the specific skills to find out how
effective I would be for the development process. In this case, it needs to be taken into
account that the entire understanding has to be developed through the practical
implementation of my learning. In this process it has to be taken into certain
understanding that the specific issue for the purpose would be highly impactful for career
development. However, this would be highly effective for the general understanding of
career development. Since I would prefer to choose my career depending on what I have
learned in these days from the course and the programs, I would consider this topic and
the research process highly impactful to determine how effectively I would go along with
the changing mode of studies.
The Learning Process:
My learning process was stringently based on practical understanding cyber
security and cyber crime. In this process I afforded to develop my thinking and
calculating skill pertaining to web development and web analysis. In terms of web
content analysis, I had to develop some certain skills on how the websites are hacked.
Through the knowledge development process, I gradually started understanding the core
concept.
Application of Learning;
In terms of application, I would consider myself and drive myself to ardent
dedication for the specific learning method. In this aspect, the basic understanding has to
be taken into certain understanding that the basic course has to be taken into specific case

where the learning would be taken place. My application would be on the mitigation and
restriction of cyber security issues.
