You should look at the stated contents of the course you are being asked to teach. Then take a look at what they already have learned when taking this course (perhaps add a bit of refresher, or give them a summary text).

Dijkstra's algorithm. Aspects of complexity theory: polynomial-time vs. beyond polynomial. Discussion of the TSP problem, Christofides' heuristic. Cryptography,...
