Courses Plus Student 1,836 PointsCan you explain why @model (lowercase 'm') is added to the top of the detail, but to use, it is uppercase 'M'odel.
For example, we reference "Model.DisplayText", and "Model.SeriesTitle" in the Detail.

(lowercase) is the derective that defines the class to be used as a model, but Model
(capital "M") is a reference to the instance of the class that was passed in.
It can seem a bit counter-intuitive at first, I remember it took a while for me to get used to it.
