Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	The Model plays a similar role that the model played in rails, it's in charge of data
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	They are very similar in that they both handle events, where rails handles crud events and views handle user events
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	They work very similarly, in that they both require a listener and an event handler, the difference being that you can customize Backbone event, while DOM events you cannot.
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	Backbone provides a bit of structure that is missing with raw JavaScript & JQuery
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?
