_Skeleton descriptions are typeset in italic text,_
_so please don't remove these descriptions when editing the topic._
-This topic is currently under construction and will soon be filled with information :)
+### Overview
+
+_Provides a short natural language abstract of the module’s contents._
+_Specifies the different levels of teaching._
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Level Objective
+----------------- ------------------------------------------------------
+Foundational: Basic usage of constructors
+
+Main: Initialization and overloading
+
+Advanced: TBD
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+### Motivation
+
+_Why is this important?_
+_Why do we want to learn/teach this topic?_
+
+Constructors are fundamental to generate objects from classes and structs, so understanding them is essential to work with objcets.
+
+### Topic introduction
+
+_Very brief introduction to the topic._
+
+### Foundational: Basic use of constructors
+
+#### Background/Required Knowledge
+
+A student:
+
+1. should know the notion of classes and structs %todo link to classes
+
+#### Student outcomes
+
+_A list of things "a student should be able to" after the curriculum._
+_The next word should be an action word and testable in an exam._
+_Max 5 items._
+
+A student should be able to:
+
+1. Add constructors to classes and structs
+2. Explain different types of initialization
+3. Explain compiler provided constructors when these are provided, what these do, and when these go away
+4. Explain differences between creating an object and declare a variable
+
+#### Points to cover
+
+* Overloading of constructors and default arguments
+* Copy constructor and destructor
+* Constructors can be used to initialize class members
+
+#### Caveats
+
+_This section mentions subtle points to understand, like anything resulting in
+implementation-defined, unspecified, or undefined behavior._
+
+* None
+
+### Main:
+
+#### Background/Required Knowledge
+
+* All of the above.
+* Class inheritance %todo check for link
+* Dynamic memory
+* Difference between shared and unique pointers
+
+#### Student outcomes
+
+A student should be able to:
+
+1. Explain the differences between the big five, namely, copy constructor, move constrcutor, copy/assign, move/assign, destructor, and constructor.
+2. Construct a initializer list and explain conditions when it is necessary
+3. Delegate to the constructor of the base class
+4. Demonstrate and explain safe memory handling using shared or unique pointers
+5. Define what RAII is and the role of the constructor
+
+#### Caveats
+
+* Order of construction should match the initalizer list order
+
+#### Points to cover
+
+* Not calling virtual functions from the base class
+* Do not initialze data outside of the constructor (two face initialization)
+* Difference between assignment and deep copy
+
+### Advanced:
+
+_These are important topics that are not expected to be covered but provide
+guidance where one can continue to investigate this topic in more depth._
+
+* Error handling within constructors
+* Non-static data initialziers
+* Constructors with member references
+* Purposes for protected constructors
+* What does delete vs private means
+* What does it mean to have an explicit constructor
+* Impact on const expr on constructor %extend later
+* Rules on memory ordering %extend later
+* Define constructor outside of the body of the class %extend later
