I'd like to know how you test your potential students to see if they have a sufficient level in C++. It's totally different than doing a C++ interview, because they have plenty of time to answer questions and they can use help from google or any other source.
For Boost.uBLAS, I ask them to write a little vector library (vector in the sense of linear algebra) using expression templates. It's the bare minimum they have to know. I ask different features to each student. They we talk about their code and I ask them to modify it to introduce new features for example.
And you ?
