Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	Keeps track of data & information whether retrieved from an API or saved within browser.
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	They both control the inflow and outflow of data and call coordinating functions for a certain set of data.
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	Backbone events listen for updates to the model. Dom events are initiated by the user with a click/hover/keypress. Dom events will often trigger a change in the model which backbone will then respond to if listening.
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	Backbone makes setting up a one-page application a lot easier and more organized. I like it!
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I wanted more info about setting up the project and an option to style it/build it ourselves.
