I walked out of my 3rd year Thermo exam with one of those liftout diagrams (Carnot cycle etc) that had to be completed as one of the major questions. I arrived home and opened up my test to see how bad that horrible exam went and realised in horror that I hadn't handed in 20% of my potential marks on a test that I had done badly on. Dreading the worst, I drove straight back to see the lecturer and see if he would accept that what I had done had been in the testing period. Luckily I found a faculty door still open and he was still there (was 9pm) and to my stunned surprise he accepted the diagram with my breathless excuses and searched out my paper and put the diagram inside.

That was the only subject I came remotely near to failing, and I amk sure if the lecturer had wanted to be firm on the rules I would have bombed out.
