Hello ISO C++ Mailing List,

This is my first time messaging this list, my name is Jacob Ulrich and I am a university student. This summer term, I am taking an introductory programming course with C++. The full title of the course is "Introduction to Computer Programming in C++ for Engineers and Scientists." The only prerequisite for this course is Calculus I, so no prior programming experience is required. I am having a bit of an issue with my assignments though, I was just wondering if anybody here could share their feelings.

Attached to this email I am linking an assignment from this course. I want to know if this is an appropriate way to teach C++ Classes and C++ File Reading/Writing to new programming students? Would the people of this mailing list consider this intuitive and adequate for first-time programmers to learn like this? I am just curious if there is any sort of teaching standard that one should abide by when in regards to C++. Would you teach a beginner programmer with an assignment of this nature?

I am attaching the files to the email itself and also providing a link to them online.
