Popis: This paper deals with examples of ethical and unethical behavior of students. In order to easily pass the exams, students reach for unacceptable methods – they cheat. Paper presents examples from professional and scientific literature about students’ unethical behavior, especially when writing exams. After describing different cases from literature, paper presents survey results about students’ awareness about ethical behavior at faculty. The survey was completely anonymous and it was conducted among students at the Faculty of Organization and Informatics. The survey results shows that 93% of students cheated at least once on exams but the good news are that thât stayed once (or small number of times). Besides that, in research part of paper we presented how Faculty of organizations and informatics deals with unethical students’ behavior through special body called Discipline Court. Court uses special regulations in work. We presented analysis of Court’s work in period of 28 months. In that period number of reported students was 56. Most of students got last warning before exclusion from faculty as sanction. Top two reasons why they were reported were cheating on exams and plagiarism.
