Should I use virtual 'Initialize()' functions to initialize an object of my class?

Question

I\'m currently having a discussion with my teacher about class design and we came to the point of Initialize() functions, which he heavily promotes. Example:

Answer 1

While I agree with the downsides of doing initialization exclusively in the constructor, I do think that those are actually signs of bad design.

A deriving class should not need to override base class initialization behaviour entirely. This is a design flaw which should be cured, rather than introducing Initialize()-functions as a workaround.
