Additionally, Not all the carrying of papers is student's fault. In fact, a _large_ percentage of carried-forward papers result from (a) clashes in the timetable meaning that one cannot attend one of 2 course subjects and (b) the negligence of lecturers - lost results, not setting courseworks, etc. I could tell many stories (including my own) of lecturers who attend 2 out of 17 campus weeks, set a paper and "lost" half the class' exam results! Now that's a small computer science class of 30.
