The products.php has a function to get the list view of products. Shouldn't this be a view instead of a model concern?

By the end of the refactoring process, the products.php file has a function called get_list_view_html, which returns the html needed to display the products on a list.

Taking into account the Separation of Concerns, why is this function part of the Model Concern?

Sergio,

Astute! Randy touches on that in a later video: Using Partials. He asks us to fix the problem on our own, but it sounds like it's corrected in the final project files if you want to see how he separates the concerns.
