Hello, Having trouble making a method, that takes an argument, and returns.

Challenge Task 1 of 1 Alright, I need you make a new method named feedback. It should take an argument named grade. Methods take arguments just like functions do. You'll still need self in there, though. If grade is above 50, return the result of the praise method. If it's 50 or below, return the reassurance method's result.

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:
            return self.praise()
    else:
            return self.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)

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

I see a lot of questions with "false negative" challenge results. I'm wondering if there's a possible issue with a particular browser and/or OS.

Which browser and system are you using?
