For each person in your pair, describe something you learned from your partner during this project	Corinna: Where to even begin…working with Nataliya has given me a MUCH better grasp on React. She talked through the concepts that I struggled with step-by-step and in a way that helped connect a lot of dots for me.
What was one area of React you gained more clarity on during this assignment?	Corinna: Sending data back upstream with callbacks, etc.
Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	We created a components that define the general outlines of what a movie should display and called only those details from the API, so each component would render each movie’s specific details.
Describe how you handled rentals with React	Customer and movie are held in a state in App.js until a Rental is ready to be made, at which time a Post request is made to the API with those params.
Describe a DOM event your application handled	When “Add to Library” is selected (onClick) from the Search Results view, it is added to the Rental Library.
Did you use any functional stateless components? What for?	Most of our components are stateless.
Did you use any container components? What for?	One example of a container component we used was [inLibrary, setInLibrary] in Search Result, which helped determine whether or not the returned result was already in our Rental Library.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I don’t think our experience this cohort is a good gauge of how other cohorts have/will feel about this project but the timing of this for us — coming right after bEtsy, right after interviews, etc. etc. and so far from our React curriculum made this feel like an uphill battle. (Corinna: Luckily, I got paired with an amazing partner who has spent so much time in React that we were actually able to stay ahead of schedule AND I felt like I was learning).
