What We're Looking For

Hello Canaan,

Dee & I are switching off feedback & 1-1s for the Rails unit, so I'll be doing your project feedback & 1-1s until JavaScript.

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Appropriate Git Usage with no extraneous files checked in	Arg! not enough commits! Also the commit messages don't convey the functionality finished.
Answered comprehension questions	Check, It' normal for the database portion to be foggy as Rails does so much for you. Also Strong params prevent the user for modifying the database on purpose instead of accidentally. Also the Model handles communication with the Database, Postgres in our case.
Successfully handles: Index, Show	Check
Successfully handles: New, Create	Check
Successfully handles: Edit, Update	Check
Successfully handles: Destroy, Task Complete	Check
Routes follow RESTful conventions	Check
Uses named routes (like _path)	Check
Overall	Let me say I love the styling. You hit all the requirement and did them well. I did leave some suggestions in your code, you can see them under the file changed tab.

Just some comments

It's is best-practice to have an action ready if you can't find the task represented by the id. This applies to edit, create, update, delete, and mark_unmark actions.

This would be a good place to use task_params.
