Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	The organization of the Scrabble game and player were very similar to how it was organized in Ruby. I was usually able to find a similar methods in Javascript based on what I would do in Ruby.
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	The nuances of how a function can appear within different entities (classes, object, general scope) is going to take a bit to adjust to. Recognizing when this may not do what you want is also something I'm trying to consider more.
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	I like looking at the structural pattern of the language's syntax and trying to figure out how I can use what I know to understand it better.
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Understanding what needs to be done but not knowing if my errors are based in my formula or if it's just a syntax error is frustrating. This happens regularly in Ruby, but at least I can (usually) spot a syntax error.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I like diagrams, so I think it could be beneficial to have a chart explaining why Scrabble is an object and Scrabble.player is a class -- and what functions could look like in each one.

What We're Looking For

Core Requirements
Git hygiene	:(
Comprehension questions	x, thanks for the feedback!
General
score calculates score, has appropriate params and return value	x
highestScoreFrom calculates highest scoring word, has appropriate params and return value
Player object
Has name and plays properties	x
Has play, totalScore, hasWon functions	x
Has highestScoringWord and highestWordScore functions	x
Overall

I actually REALLY like the switch statement for the score(word) function. Not a lot of people did that, but I think it's very effective in this case.

I think you got to practice a lot of really cool things in highestScoreFrom(arrayOfWords), and I encourage that!
