class question

I have this query but it's giving me an error. I can't see figure out why.

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)

grade = 0
def feedback(self):
    if self.grade > 50:
        return praise
return reassurance
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)

    grade = 0
    def feedback(self):
        if self.grade > 50:
            return praise
        return reassurance

Hi Jinny -

There are a few things wrong here, the first being that the method takes an argument (grade) which you do not have. Also both praise and reassurance are functions so you need to call them

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

I have submitted this answer but I am still getting an error. I've looked at other resources and I can't find a reason why this is wrong.

class Student: name = "Jinny"

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:
        return self.praise()
    return self.reassurance()
