PROFESSIONAL SKILL TASK – ASSESSMENT 3
Purpose This task will help you develop a number of transferable skills (such as
time management, creativity and critical thinking skills) sought after in the
legal and accounting professions and in the business community. These
skills will be applied in this task in the context of helping you meet learning
objectives 1, 2, 3 and 4 insofar as these skills are essential to
understanding the key legal principles that you learn about in this unit
(LO1) and their impact on business conduct (LO2), assessing legal
scenarios and predicting possible legal risks and outcomes (LO3), and
using legal reasoning to inform business decision-making and conduct
(LO4).
This assessment covers our course materials from Weeks 6 and 7
(Consumer Protection).
Your task In this assessment, you will have the opportunity to explore the practical
application of the Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’) in the context of
advertising: a common business activity. This assessment consists of two
main components: generating the wording for a Spotify advertisement
using the generative AI system, ChatGPT, and producing a 1,500 word
report analysing your advertisement script for potential legal issues that
might arise under the ACL.
Please keep in mind that these assessments are practical skills tasks, that
will draw upon your knowledge of the law. Applying your knowledge of the
law is essential, and accurately applying the law is essential, but you will
do so here via a report, rather than via a response to a hypothetical legal
problem question.
Please refer to the ‘Professional Skills Task Instructions’ document
for further information. This document is designed to be read in
conjunction with the Assessment 3 Specifications document. Please
read these documents together.
Value 20% of the total marks for the unit (marked out of 20).
Word Limit 1,500 words. This word limit for all-inclusive: that is, it includes headings,
referencing, footnotes, and all other text in your document, but it does not
include the words from your generative AI produced Spotify
advertisement. That is, your report can be a maximum of 1,500 words plus
the words of your advertisement script.

Due Date 4:30PM (AEDT) on Tuesday 3 October 2023 (Week 10).
Please note that the due time for this assessment is not midnight, and
that the decision to set a due time other than midnight was deliberately
taken to ensure that students are able to receive support from members of
the teaching team if emergencies occur close to the end of the submission
window. We would not be able to provide this support after the close of
business, or over the weekend, which is why the submission due time is
4:30PM on a Tuesday: noting also that this is one of the standard
assignment submission times used in the Monash Business School. Do
not assume that the submission time is midnight based upon your
experiences in other units. You must always check the specific
submission requirements of each individual assessment you take in each
unit you study.
Submission Submission is required via the ‘Assessment 3 Submission (Professional
Skill Development)’ Submission DropBox available in the Assessments
area on Moodle. Turnitin will be used for similarity checking.
You must include a generative AI declaration as part your
submission. Please refer to the ‘Professional Skills Task Instructions’
document for further information.
NOTE: In this assessment, your generative AI declaration is considered a
mandatory part of your assignment. If you do not include a generative AI
declaration as part of your submission process, your assessment for this
task will be subject to the applicable penalties for late submission until the
declaration is provided.
Assessment
Criteria
Your assessment criteria are indicated in the marking rubric that will be
used to mark your assessment. This rubric is included in Appendix 1 of the
‘Professional Skills Task Instructions’ document, which is available on
Moodle (from Week 8). Please refer to this rubric before completing
your assessment to best guide the completion of your work.
Late
Penalties
Assessments submitted late, without the granting of special
consideration or an extension, will be marked in accordance with the
relevant late submission of assessment policy which provides for a
penalty of 10% of the total marks available (ie. 2 marks) per day (or
part-day) late. Assignments submitted more than seven days late
(calendar days, not business days) will receive a mark of zero and will
not have feedback provided.

Feedback Your assessment will be marked out of 20. You will receive an overall
mark out of 20. Qualitative feedback will be provided via the assessment
rubric which will be attached to your returned assignment via Moodle.
If you would like to discuss your assessment results and feedback further,
you are welcome to attend student consultation times with your tutor or
lecturer. Please note, though, that consultations are not an opportunity to
negotiate higher marks, and in particular note that all failed assessments
have already been double-marked at the time of results release in
accordance with Faculty policy.
We anticipate that marks and feedback will be returned to you within 10
working days after the assessment due date.
