What are some examples of quodlibets or qodlibetals? The Latin word “well you just want” comes from Latin. It can be heard as “what you want”.

According to Wikipedia, Scholastic schools had

two methods of teaching. The first method was teaching through books with videos on many topics. The second method of teaching was the Scholastic method. The first was the lectio : a teacher would read a text, expounding on certain words and ideas, but no questions were permitted; it was a simple reading of a text. Instructors explained, students listened in silence.

Second was the disputatio, which goes right to the heart of scholasticism. What were the first types of disputationes? Does anyone here know anything about current reality from the University? How to tell why students rebutted the reply, and were informed quodlibetal and student did the same? Someone took notes on what was said, allowing the teacher to summarise all arguments and present his final position the next day, upvoting all rebuttals.

OED is a musical composition combining several different melodies (usually popular tunes) in counterpoint, often in a light-hearted manner”. It says there that the academic “quorlibet” originated at the University of Paris in the 1230s; Aquinas lived from 1225 to 1274.
