Personal comments

I think that overall we you arrive, It would be so good to provide the notes to international students, because we you arrive and you do not know the language, is impossible to get notes, then would be fantastic to have the possibility of get these notes.

Most lectures were taught in English but some of them in French - THAT was a problem for most of the people there and the teacher was somewhat rude about it.
