Models are ruby classes that inherit from ActiveRecord::Base
Models are singular in rails User, Student, and Todo
Controllers are pluralized in rails UsersController, StudentsController, and TodosController
Database table names are plural in rails users, students, and todos
There is (typically) one folder in views for each model you've created. It is the pluralized version of the model name and holds all the html/erb templates for that model's controller. For example: the User model will have an action index on the UsersController that will render the users/index.html.erb template.
