Comprehension questions	Check
Functionality
Created a Contact Model	Check
Created a Rolodex Collection	Check
Created a ContactView which renders an individual contact	Check
ContactView responds to a click event when the user clicks on the contact	Check
RolodexView created which renders the list of contacts	Check
DOM Events handled for creating new Contacts	Check
The RolodexView responds to custom Backbone event generated by ContactView to show the modal	Check, interesting how you created a renderDetails function to render the Contact in the details modal. Could you have instead created a new ContactView instance and just passed in a different template?
Styling, Foundation grid layout	Check
All dynamic content is rendered using an Underscore template	Check
Overall	Interesting how you hide the modal in app.js instead of in the RolodexView. Why do it there? I also notice you created an event for clicks in contact_view.js going to a function called, hideDetails which doesn't exist. Nice work, you satisfied all the requirements!
