Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe a custom model method you wrote.	I did not write a custom model method for this project, but if I had finished this project I would have written one for up voting.
Describe how you approached testing that model method. What edge cases did you come up with?	For the model method described above I would ensure the following cases, that a user can upvote if they have not voted for the work yet, that a user can't upvote again if they have already upvoted a work, and the one user's upvote does not prevent another user from upvoting.
What are session and flash? What is the difference between them?	Flash is used for showing error messages and has to do with the duration of a request cycle. Session is a browser session. This means that a user can be tracked via the browser.
What was one thing that you gained more clarity on through this assignment?	The general setup of rails and how the MVC works.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://media-ranker-3000.herokuapp.com/
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	N/A

Overall

Hi Amy!

Overall, you and I got to talk about this, so hopefully we're on the same page:
You didn't get through much on this project!

The things I want to make sure you get the learning goals of are the following:

• Understanding custom routes with interesting functionality, via voting
• Model business logic and model testing
• logging in with session
• giving feedback with flash

I have checked in with you about getting those learning goals, but let me know if you have any questions.
