Detailed explanation, re-iteration of points in a quite subtle way that really drove the knowledge home very well. Rod's willingness to double-check the odd obscure question that we rasied, to be sure that his answers were 100% right. Also, his interest in discussing the pros & cons of alternate coding styles so that we learnt not only how to use C++ in our intended way, but why it should be done that way.

I enjoyed the time allocated for us to solve the exercices. This was very useful as it allowed us to spend some time thinking about our solutions and implementing them.

The details on how compiler behaves depending on to the syntax usage. The "Quiz" sections are very stimulating
