Again, it runs fine in my terminal but not in the workspace.

I'm getting tired of this

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def praise(self):
        return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)

    def reassurance(self):
        return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)

    def feedback(self, grade):
        if grade > 50:
            print(self.praise())
        else:
            print(self.reassurance())

Hi there, Leslie Lewis ! This code is great and kudos for trying it out in the workspace to make sure everything is running! However, because you are testing you chose to print the results of running those methods. But the challenge specifically asks you to return the results of running the methods.

The challenge on the other end is looking to get back a string from you and instead of getting back a string, your code prints a string which is a bit different. When I change the print to return, it passes with flying colors!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
