This sort of training shouldn't be happening at the University level. 
It is an insult to educators worldwide, especially those who hold 
Ph.D.'s, that they have to teach the basics over and over again.  Our 
education system needs to be completely revamped to wipe out the concept 
of grades (1st-12th) and eliminate the distinct segmentations between 
"grade school" (1-12), "college/university", and "the workforce".

You know you aren't learning anything useful when you have to "reinvent 
the wheel" to get a grade.  Children today have already figured this out 
and this:

Is part of the unsurprising and expected outcome.


In terms of programming in C/C++, I've got four (six?) words for 
educators:  Safe C++ Design Principles.  Use an existing platform to 
build the next generation platform.  Then build on the new platform. 
And so on.
