making-the-grades: no mention of generics

I'm not entirely sure about the making-the-grades exercise. It seems to gloss over generics entirely, whilst requiring students to use its syntax. Maybe some explanation is needed?

There will be an extra concept solely on templates. They have some exposure to templates by this point through the vector and array concept. Do you think I should add some more to make sure they notice it?

I think so. It can be very handwavey, but it is some completely new syntax that might be very odd to students.
