Academic dishonesty means plagiarism, misrepresentation of self or student work product or representation of work of others as your own, or other acts of academic dishonesty. 1.

WAC 132K Student responsibilities Students who choose to attend Pierce College also choose to actively participate in the learning process offered by the college. The college is responsible for providing an educational environment rich in the high quality resources needed by students to attain their educational goals. In return, the college has the expectation that each student shall assume responsibility for the following: 1. Become knowledgeable of and adhere to policies, practices, procedures and rules of the college and its departments; 2. Practice personal and academic integrity; 3. Respect the dignity, rights and property of all persons; 4. Strive to learn from differences in people, ideas and opinions; 5. Participate actively in the learning process, in and out of the classroom; 6. Refrain from and discourage behaviors which undermine the respect all Pierce College community members deserve; 7. Abide by the standards set forth in the student rights and responsibilities/code of conduct policy. We practice Critical Thinking in the classrooms. Critical Thinking The concept of critical thinking can be difficult to grasp because it requires all participants to set aside assumptions and beliefs to think without bias or judgment. That is sometimes difficult to do! Critical thinking involves suspending your beliefs to explore and question topics from a "blank page" point of view. It also involves the ability to know fact from opinion when exploring a topic.
