Personal comments
Slightly a grandpa-like way of teaching (maybe because it's the oldest university in Europe - XIIIth century ?)All classes are given in huge classrooms, you may feel at a loss if you're not used to this kind of knowledge-transmission... You're not supposed to participate in any way except through listening & writing down notes. You may only talk to the teacher at the end of the class, it can be frustrating.
