Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	The model accesses, updates, validates, and stores data, and performs any business logic. It also "emits" events when there are changes to the data.
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	The view is similar to a controller--it calls the methods in the model that correspond to changes in the DOM.
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	A DOM event is an action by the user whereas a Backbone Event is a pre-structured sequence of events in response to an action or change to the dataframe.
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	I like the structure, but it's a little new and confusing to know where things should go. Without strong encouragement, I would probably keep it using spaghetti code.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Live code didn't work for me. I would have liked a diagram of where everything SHOULD go followed by careful coding that was right the first time.
