Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	The Model fulfills many purposes in managing the data. It may simply validate the data or set defaults, or it might read and write to an API, among other functions depending on the program.
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	They coordinate between the data and the DOM like a Rails controller coordinates between a model and a view.
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	Pretty unsure about this. Isn't a Backbone Event also a DOM event?
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	I am still trying to feel more comfortable with my understanding of how all of the pieces relate to each other. JavaScript and jQuery were easier for me to learn, but I see the value of learning Backbone and am excited to learn other JS frameworks.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	The lectures were tough and I think spending more time on the concepts of Backbone and less on live-coding would have been helpful.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Should have more commits
Comprehension questions	Mostly Good - the events are not the same [GIVE A LINK]
Functionality
Created a Contact Model	Well Done
Created a Rolodex Collection	Almost - should have model defined
Created a ContactView which renders an individual contact	Well Done
ContactView responds to a click event when the user clicks on the contact	❗️ Not Complete
RolodexView created which renders the list of contacts	Well Done
DOM Events handled for creating new Contacts	Well Done
The RolodexView responds to custom Backbone event generated by ContactView to show the modal	❗️ Not Complete
Styling, Foundation grid layout	Well Done
All dynamic content is rendered using an Underscore template	Well Done
Overall
	There is no evidence of an attempt at having the modal functionality. This project is not complete and does not meet the expectations for this project.
