What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Appropriate Git Usage with no extraneous files checked in	Good frequent commits with meaningful messages
Answered comprehension questions	You are almost always using models in Rails, and definitely in this project. They are the way you are about to interact with the data within your database. You’ll get more clarity on how this is done using migrations, but it would be a good topic for you to spend a bit more time understanding (as you noted).
Successfully handles: Index, Show	index looks good. Show has a duplicate find method usage which will make an extra database call. Otherwise it looks good.
Successfully handles: New, Create	Is this logic working? You’ve added a private keyword where your strong params are which means all of the controller methods below that will be “invisible”.
Successfully handles: Edit, Update	Looks good
Successfully handles: Destroy, Task Complete	same comment re: private keyword
Routes follow RESTful conventions	Looks good! You have just one duplicate route.
Uses named routes (like _path)	Yes
Overall	You demonstrated the major learning goals on this assignment. Views look good. Don’t forget that when you add a class attribute to your HTML you have to put it in a string. Also, naming convention on class names is separating with a - rather than an _. FYI- your github setup is incorrect on your computer so get with myself or Charles at some point to fix this please.
