Unit description
This unit examines the law underlying the use of the internet and electronic commerce. The cross border nature of the internet has opened up global markets for goods and services, meaning that the unique nature of such transactions calls for a framework to promote legal certainty. The unrestricted flow of electronic information through cyberspace has meant that the relevant laws by necessity cannot be limited to national laws only, Instead, the internationalisation of law is essential to deal with this new medium. Topics to be studied include jurisdictional analysis of business transactions, Australian and international approaches, online consumer protection and internet gambling.

The class participation mark will be based on your contribution to discussions in the sessions in Weeks 1 to 12.
One of the aims of tutorials is to develop your competence and skills in argument and discussion with others on the problems we consider. Your participation will be appraised according to the regularity and quality of your participation, the quality of your preparation for tutorials, and your willingness to contribute to discussions with your fellow students (whether electronically or in spoken form). In my assessment of your contribution, I will be using the marking criteria set out in the table:
Grade Criteria 0 Absent or did not demonstrate presence electronically 1 Present, not disruptive. Tries to respond when called on but does not offer much. Demonstrates very infrequent involvement in discussion. 2 Demonstrates adequate preparation: knows basic reading facts, but does not show evidence of trying to interpret or analyse them. Offers straightforward information (e.g., straight from the reading), without elaboration or very infrequently (perhaps once a tutorial). Does not offer to contribute to discussion, but contributes to a moderate degree when called on. Demonstrates sporadic involvement. 3 Demonstrates good preparation: knows required readings well, has thought through implications of them. Offers interpretations and analysis of readings to tutorial group. Contributes well to discussion in an ongoing way: responds to other students' points, thinks through own points, questions others in a constructive way, offers and supports suggestions that may be counter to the majority opinion. Demonstrates consistent ongoing involvement. 4 Demonstrates excellent preparation: has analysed required readings exceptionally well, relating it to recommended readings and other material. Offers analysis, synthesis and evaluation of readings, e.g., puts together pieces of the discussion to develop new approaches that take the tutorial group further. Contributes in a very significant way to ongoing discussion: keeps analysis focused, responds very thoughtfully to other students' comments, contributes to the cooperative argument-building, suggests alternative ways of approaching material and helps tutorial group analyse which approaches are appropriate, etc. Demonstrates ongoing very active involvement.As part of the assessment for tutorial participation, you are required to submit a short report on your contribution to tutorial discussion and argument by the end of Week 13. I will take your report into consideration in assigning you a mark for tutorial participation and you can only improve your mark through your report.
Your report on tutorial participation should be based on your experience of tutorials: it should not be an evaluation of Chip (there will be other opportunities for you to do this!). In your report, you should try to highlight what you see as the strengths of your contribution to tutorials, and what you see as the reasons for any weaknesses in your contribution. Some of the other things you might mention include the preparation you have done for the tutorials in terms of both reading and thinking. You can also note whether the readings clarified questions for you – or unsettled, disturbed, confused, perplexed or inspired you. Valuable and valued participation in tutorials is not a matter of monopolising the conversation. Valuable participation can also include how your own thoughts and words contributed to an intelligent and imaginative understanding and/or resolution of the questions being discussed.
You might find it useful to keep a weekly diary and to draw on that as the basis of your final report on your tutorial participation. If you keep a diary, you might consider the following activities:
I would also find it useful if you could propose the mark that you feel is appropriate for your tutorial contributions.
The class comprises 3 hours face-to-face teaching per week consisting of 1 x 1.5 hour lecture and 1 x 1.5 hour tutorial.
The unit is taught in weekly lectures and tutorials. In this Unit, lectures are face-to-face oral presentations intended to present information or teach students about a particular subject, and tutorials are an interactive class component in which a tutor facilitates learning with a small group of students.
Students are provided with reading lists comprising textbooks, journals, websites and other relevant reading materials related to the unit. Students will be required to read critically in order to further develop concepts and ideas referred to in the unit. The required readings will be used in both the lecture and the tutorial. The cases will be reviewed in the tutorial.
In addition to the readings, students will be expected to reflect on the application of the concepts to their careers. Reflective activities assist students in integrating the course content and in developing the ability to transfer knowledge and skills from the learning environment into the workplace. Reflective activities also facilitate the development of communication skills and an orientation to lifelong learning.
Students have access to the lecturer for one-on-one assistance/consultation when they have particular queries relating to unit content. This consultation may be in the form of a face-to-face meeting, phone call, chat session or via the discussion forum.
This unit uses research from external sources and provides you with an opportunity to practice applying research findings in assignments. This unit gives you opportunities to conduct your own research.
Technologies
PC and Internet access are required. Basic computer skills (e.g., internet browsing) and skills in word processing are also a requirement.
Please consult teaching staff for any further, more specific requirements.

Please read the instructions provided concerning what constitutes a valid grounds for appeal before appealing your grade.
http://www.city.mq.edu.au/reviews-appeals.html
Special Consideration Policy
The University is committed to equity and fairness in all aspects of its learning and teaching. In stating this commitment, the University recognises that there may be circumstances where a student is prevented by unavoidable disruption from performing in accordance with their ability. A special consideration policy exists to support students who experience serious and unavoidable disruption such that they do not reach their usual demonstrated performance level.The policy is available at: http://www.mq.edu.au/policy/docs/special_consideration/policy.html
The University defines serious and unavoidable disruption to studies as resulting from an event or set of circumstances that:
A Special Consideration application is deemed to be valid if all the following criteria have been satisfied:
· The Special Consideration application is completed by the student and submitted online through www.ask.mq.edu.au within five (5) working days after the due date of the associated assessment task / final examination.
· The application contains supportingevidence to demonstrate the severity of the circumstance(s) and that substantial disruption has been caused to the student’s capacity for effective study. (The University will not follow up on outstanding evidence, nor contact any person or body on behalf of the student. The application will be considered as submitted.)
· The original supporting documentation has been sighted by MQC reception staff within five (5) working days after the due date of the associated assessment task.
· Where the particular circumstances are medical in nature, a Professional Authority Form including the health professional’s Medicare Provider Number is included. (If a Professional Authority Form cannot be obtained, an original medical certificate indicating the severity (serious / not serious) and impact of the circumstances must be included with the application.)
· Where the particular circumstances are non-medical in nature, appropriate supporting evidence indicating the severity (serious / not serious) and impact of the circumstances is included with the application.
· The student was performing satisfactorily in the unit up to the date of the unavoidable disruption. (If a student’s work in the unit was previously unsatisfactory, subsequent unavoidable disruption will not overcome the fact that the earlier work was unsatisfactory).
Unacceptable grounds for Special Consideration
The University has determined that some circumstances are not acceptable grounds for claiming Special Consideration. These grounds include, but are not limited, to:
Acute Problems
The University defines acute problems as those involving fewer than three (3) consecutive days within a study period. In these cases, students should not apply for special consideration via ask.mq.edu.au, but contact their Unit Convenor within 5 working days of the assessment due date so that a local solution may be discussed, except where the disruption affects completion of a final examination. (If a final examination is affected, the student should submit a special consideration application via ask.mq.edu.au.)
Prior Conditions Conditions existing prior to commencing a unit of study are not grounds for Special Consideration, except in the event of unavoidable deterioration of the condition. The student is responsible for managing their workload in light of any known or anticipated problems. Students with a pre-existing disability/ chronic health condition may contact the Disability Service for information on available support.
In submitting a request for Special Consideration, the student is acknowledging that they may be required to undertake additional work and agreeing to hold themselves available so that they can complete any extra work as required. The time and date, deadline or format of any required extra assessable work as a result of an application for Special Consideration is not negotiable.
Attendance
All Students are required to attend at least 80% of the scheduled course contact hours each Session. Additionally MQC monitors the course progress of international students to ensure that the student complies with the conditions of their visa relating to attendance.
This minimum level of attendance includes all lectures and tutorials. Tutorial attendance will be recorded weekly. If any scheduled class falls on a public holiday this will be rescheduled as advised by your Lecturer. Attendance at any mid-Session or in-class test is compulsory unless otherwise stated.
Unavoidable non-attendance due to illness or circumstances beyond your control must be supported by appropriate documentation to be considered for a supplementary test. Other non-attendance will obtain zero for the test. You should refer to the section below on Special Consideration for more details about this.
