BTB1010/ BTC1110/BTF1010 – SEMESTER 2, 2023

Professional Skills Task (Assessment 3)

ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

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 a Spotify advertisement using
the generative AI system, ChatGPT, and analysing it for potential legal issues that might arise
under the ACL. This assessment is worth 20% of your final grade, and is marked out of 20.

ASSESSMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Your assessment specifications are set out in a separate document that is also available in the
Assessments area on Moodle. Please read that document together with these instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS

This assessment has two parts, as outlined below. You are required to complete both parts.

form) for a Spotify advertisement that will promote one of two products. To do this, follow
the below steps.

1. Select a Product: Choose one of the below fictional products for which you will
create the wording for a Spotify advertisement. You do not need to create an

2. Use ChatGPT to Create a Spotify Advertisement: Utilising the information

provided above about your chosen product, prompt ChatGPT to create the wording in
text form for a Spotify advertisement promoting that product. Please note that you do
not need to use Spotify, or to have a Spotify account, to complete this assessment: you
only need to use ChatGPT to generate a script that would hypothetically be read out
as a Spotify advertisement, in between users listening to Spotify content. For an
example of what real-world Spotify ads sound like, see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P_q7-q2EH0

Important! You must take note of how you use ChatGPT to produce your
advertisement, including what prompt/s you provide to ChatGPT, as this information
must be included in your Generative AI declaration. See the ‘Generative AI
Declaration’ section below on page 4 for further information.

If you have never used ChatGPT before, see the ‘How to Use ChatGPT’ section
below on page 4 for further information.

3. Finalise your Spotify Advertisement: Using ChatGPT, reach a final version of the
wording for your Spotify advertisement. Take note of, by copying and saving, the
final wording as this will need to be included in your report in Part 2.

Part 2: Analysis of Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’) Compliance

In this part, you will analyse the advertisement that you have generated in Part 1 above for
potential legal issues arising under the ACL. In doing so, you are required to write a 1,500

2
word report. The report should follow the structure outlined below and address the points
raised below.

Note that this assessment is not a research task: you do not need to (and should not) refer to
materials other than those covered in our syllabus. This includes your prescribed readings,
lectures, tutorial exercises, and other materials provided on Moodle.

Structure and Content to be Addressed in your Report:

1. Introduction:

- Introduce your chosen product and your finalised Spotify advertisement.

- Include the entire wording of your Spotify advertisement (copy and paste the wording
from ChatGPT into your report). Note: the wording of your advertisement will not count
towards your final word count. That is, your report can be a maximum of 1,500 words
plus the words of your advertisement. The other text contained in this section, aside
from your advertisement text, is included in your word limit.

2. Misleading or Deceptive Conduct and False Representations:

- Define what misleading or deceptive conduct is, and what false or misleading
representations are, according to the ACL.
- Discuss whether your advertisement complies with the ACL prohibitions. You may
want to include quotes from your advertisement to support your arguments (these
quotes count towards your word limit).
- In your discussion, specifically address sections 18 and 29 of the ACL and explain how
they relate to your advertisement.

3. Consumer Guarantees:

- Define consumer guarantees according to the ACL: addressing when they apply, and
what they require.
- Outline and discuss different types of consumer guarantees (at least the two in sections
54 and 55 of the ACL: you do not need to address all consumer guarantees considered
in our course materials but must address these two).
- Identify sections of your advertisement related to product descriptions, warranties, or
guarantees, and quote those sections (this counts towards your word limit).
- Assess whether your advertisement would result in your chosen product complying with
the consumer guarantees outlined in the ACL sections 54 and 55 (acceptable quality,
and fitness for disclosed purpose).

4. Recommendations and Remedies:

- Consider any potential improvements that could be made to your advertisement to make
it more compliant with the ACL.
- Suggest strategies or recommendations to enhance consumer protection compliance in
the context of your advertisement. If you conclude that your advertisement breaches the
ACL, propose corrective actions that the advertiser should take to ensure compliance
with the ACL.

3
 - Discuss potential legal remedies available to consumers who may be affected by
breaches of the ACL. Consider both the remedies for misleading or deceptive conduct
and false and misleading representation, and also breaches of the consumer guarantees.
If your advertisement breaches one of these provisions, tailor your discussion to what
the advertiser should do in relation to your specific advertisement. If you conclude that
your advertisement does not breach these aspects of the consumer law, consider what
steps the advertiser would need to take in the event that it was in breach of the ACL
including the potential legal remedies for which the advertiser would be liable.

5. Conclusion:

- Summarise your findings from your analysis.

- Reflect on the importance of compliance with Australian Consumer Law in advertising
and implications for businesses and consumers.

HOW TO USE CHATGPT (A GENERATIVE AI SYSTEM)

If you have never used ChatGPT, a useful guide can be found on the YouTube video at this
link: https://youtu.be/_UGAziGALg0?si=1KmfnSNlzG8uaSLF

Please also refer to the following as a guide:

a) ChatGPT can be accessed via the following website: chat.openai.com

b) Sign In (if required): If you are prompted to sign in or create a free account, follow
the on-screen instructions to do so.
c) Start a New Conversation: Once you are logged in, you'll see a chat interface. Click
on the "New Conversation" button or a similar option to start a new conversation with
ChatGPT.
d) Ask Your Question or Provide a Prompt: In the chatbox, type a prompt or
instructions into ChatGPT. This is where you give ChatGPT instructions to create a
Spotify advertisement utilising the information you have been provided in relation to
the product you have chosen.
e) Interact with ChatGPT: After you have entered your prompt, ChatGPT will
generate a response. You will see the AI's response displayed in the chatbox. You can
continue the conversation by typing your next question, comment or instruction.
f) Provide Clarifications (if needed): If ChatGPT's response is not what you expected
you can provide additional context to get a more accurate answer or ask ChatGPT to
amend the response it provided.

For the purposes of this assessment, you must use ChatGPT specifically: no other generative
AI systems are permitted. You can use any version of ChatGPT, including version 3.5,
which is available for use for free. You will not be penalised in any way for using the free
version of ChatGPT as opposed to a paid version.

GENERATIVE AI DECLARATION

As part of the document you upload, you must submit a Generative AI Declaration. As all
students are required to use generative AI in their assessment, declaring that you did not use
generative AI in this assessment will be deemed an invalid declaration.

4
For further information about the declaration requirements, see the resources available on
Learn HQ at this URL: https://www.monash.edu/student-academic-success/build-digital-
capabilities/create-online/acknowledging-the-use-of-generative-artificial-intelligence See
also the resources that are available in the ‘Assessment 3 Resources’ folder on Moodle.

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.

Please take note that your generative AI declaration does not contribute to the word limit.
You have the option to upload your declaration in the same document as your assignment or
as a separate file but it is mandatory to include a generative AI declaration as part of the
submission process.

MARKING CRITERIA

This assessment is marked against the marking rubric set out in Appendix 1, contained at the
