Introduction
Start the learning process for your team members on the Coursera platform. Despite being self-taught, some
members were punished for plagiarism. The group gathered together for the first time to discuss the issue of
plagiarism and develop a strategy to address it in order to assist one another. The group came to the
conclusion that the freshmen needed to learn from their mistakes.
The team realized that many FPT students have recently transferred from the preparatory English program to
their major and are only now becoming familiar with the Coursera learning platform, but they lack the
necessary knowledge of test-taking strategies on this platform. As a result, many instances of breaking the
rule against plagiarism have no clear cause or origin.
Due to these factors, the team decided to suggest this initiative as a means of disseminating the knowledge
mentioned above.
A brief explanation of the "APC - Avoid Plagiarism in Coursera" initiative
Time: The project will be implemented by the entire team from May 23, 2022, until August 7, 2022.
Weekly timetable (see appendix 1 for more information)
Topics and content for each week (see appendix 2 for more information).

Conclusions

Recommendations
Future changes to Coursera's plagiarism detection software will make the team's current technologies
obsolete because of this. To ensure your safety while learning on Coursera, the team has planned for the
future to continually upgrade the newest tools. This will allow them to stay current with Coursera's
development. And maybe in the future, my team can create a plagiarism checker model to help FPT students
in the process of doing homework on Coursera.
