Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	Similar to models in Rails. Deals with data. When a model changes, it triggers an event in view. A Model can have custom events and its own business logic.
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	Backbone View is similar to Rails controllers. It works between model and DOM.
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	Backbone events are about what's happening between objects(an object's change can trigger a Backbone event) while Dome events are triggered by user's action.
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	Backbone is a lot more structured than raw JavaScript & jQuery. MV* sturctures are less complicated since Model/View/DOM are separated.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	It's too much to learn Backbone structure in 4 days. I am not even comfortable with jQuery yet...
