Description
Hi All,
I was a mentor for 2 sessions this past spring, once on zoom and once in person at jLab. I think you should reconsider the order of the topics for the essentials class. I'll use the order on slide 5. 1. And 2. Are good where they are but then I would do:
6. Useful tools so that they can debug their exercises.
4. Core modern C++ so that they are not tired out by the time they reach what are in my opinion some of the most important topics, const correctness, RAII, and how to use the STL.
3. Object orientation it's still great material and good to know the memory layout the compiler uses but it is lighter for the last day.

Research direction
Start by locating the course material corresponding to slide 5 and review the current order of topics 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Reorder the materials so Useful tools comes before Core modern C++, followed by Object orientation, and verify that the slide and related lesson references stay consistent.
