Answer 1

you should extend model like this in codeIgniter

class Modelname extends CI_Model
  {
   function __construct()
    {
          parent::__construct();
    }
  }

Answer 2

Well actually the study guide is of old version of CI, where you used to extend your models from Model class as show in the guide. But now it has been changed. Now you have to extend it from CI_Model, same goes for Controller.

For controllers

class Employee_controller extends CI_Controller
{
  //load the constructor
  function __construct()
  {
    //inherit the parent constructor
    parent::__construct();
  }
}

and for models:

class Employee_model extends CI_Model
{
  //load the constructor
  function __construct()
  {
    //inherit the parent constructor
    parent::__construct();
  }
}
