Last Monday's class

Question

Is the following grammatical?Can please remind me what topics we covered in last Saturday's class?Thanks.

No. I suppose it should say "Can you please remind me ...".

"which" sounds a little more polished than "what".

In my opinion it's not that 'which' sounds more polished. It is more polished, because it refers to a specific array of topics and not just any amount of possible topics, no matter whether the speaker remembers what happened during class or not (she/he wouldn't have asked in the first place if she/he did).

Notice the differences in use of WHICH and WHAT in this surreal dialogue

What newspapers do you usually read?
The Guardian, The Independent, and The Times, but not all at a time. I mean, I buy only a newspaper a day.
Which newspaper did you buy this morning The Guardian, the Independent or the Times?

I fail to see any important distinction.
