Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words what the Model is doing in Rails	The model deals with the business logic of the program. It also reads & modifies the database & allows us to do so using Ruby code.
Describe in your own words what the Controller is doing in Rails	The controller manages interactions between the model and the viewer.
Describe in your own words what the View is doing in Rails	The View provides the visuals that the user can actually see and interact with.
Describe an edge-case controller test you wrote	I wrote an edge case for the controller actions having invalid ids.
What is the purpose of using strong params? (i.e. the params method in the controller)	Strong params add enhanced security & prevent outside users from modifying your forms (i.e., the keys in the param hash). Strong params should be stored in private methods.
How are Rails migrations related to Rails models?	Migrations allow you to create & modify
Describe one area of Rails that are still unclear on	I have some confusion about routes.

Task List

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Appropriate Git Usage with no extraneous files checked in	check
Answered comprehension questions	check
Successfully handles: Index, Show	check
Index & Show tests pass	check
Successfully handles: New, Create	check
New & Create tests pass	I wasn't able to run tests, but they look good.
Successfully handles: Edit, Update	check
Tests for Edit & Update test valid & invalid task ids	check
Successfully handles: Destroy, Task Complete	The ways to mark a task complete is a little funny. What does the check mark do? When you mark a task complete, you need to refresh in order for the view to change to indicate the task is complete with a line through it.
Tests for Destroy & Task Complete include tests for valid and invalid task ids	check
Routes follow RESTful conventions	check
Uses named routes (like _path)	check
Overall	Good job overall. You hit the learning goals of using partials, using strong params, and following Rails conventions. There's one issue -- the completed action doesn't work quite as expected -- you need to refresh to see the strikethrough and the function of the checkbox is not clear.

Consider how making two separate methods, for instance mark_complete and mark_incomplete would make this action idempotent.
