If you're talking about basic practice, then some signs are as follows:
Yoshinkan:
uke & nage always start in the same spot
stance seems very rigid
movement seems very stiff
only the sensei is wearing a hakama

So far correct (although depending on the sensei he might not bother with the hakama either)

Only true for kihon dosa (basic movements) and hajime training.
In normal technique training every pair has its own pace and sensei mainly watches and corrects individually. Although things still likely look more "orderly" than in many other styles due to the "uke & nage always start in the same spot" thing.
