Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	There are some similar methods, such as 'push', or the forEach loops, that are similar to what I used in Ruby. I just needed to look up the correct syntax.
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	Knowing how to google / read Javascript documentation to get needed information.
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Learning the patterns, and seeing that there are a lot of things that do already seem familiar, even though I never used them in the new language.
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Probably not knowing how to do something that I find easy to do in Ruby. For example, I am still very hazy on how to use hashes / methods with hashes in Javascript currently.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	None that I can think of :)

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Looks good
Comprehension questions	Yes
General
score calculates score, has appropriate params and return value	Yes - good
highestScoreFrom calculates highest scoring word, has appropriate params and return value	When you create a function off of the prototype on the object, you want to call the function using an instance. What I mean is you'll want some var s = new Scrabble(); to create an instance, then use that instance to call the score method s.score("word"). By using the Scrabble's prototype directly, you're using a strategy that works but that we don't really want to utilize. I see you demonstrated the correct way to use the functions in the Player obj.
Player object
Has name and plays properties	Yes
Has play, totalScore, hasWon functions	Yes
Has highestScoringWord and highestWordScore functions	Good - watch out for indentation
Overall	Good job practicing your syntax and hitting the major learning goals.
