Mistakes in proofs are relatively common, but such a mistake doesn't automatically mean that the proof is entirely wrong. Many times, the mistake is just in the exposition, and can be fixed easily. Other times, the mistake is fixable and the fix is apparent. Perhaps the author forget to treat a relatively trivial edge case. In the first two cases, the student would likely just pass with minor corrections to be submitted soon.

Sometimes, of course, the proof is just wrong. That is the dangerous case, which will cause either major corrections or failure.

Proof fix-ups are quite common, but if it was not possible, then no, not for that topic.
