Coursera emails you a certificate of completion when you finish a course. From comments in their discussion forums, it seems like some students are using these certificates to get partial credit towards courses at their own university, or to show to employers as a proof of their development, etc. So unfortunately there is an incentive for some people to cheat on the courses.
- Permit 14y agoMaybe to promote the "learning over credit" model, Coursera shouldn't attempt to stop any kind of plagiarism. This would make the certificate essentially worthless, which would promote learning only for the sake of learning.
