it should be the same when one creates an instance and you need to override the init method
class Student:
name = "Your Name"
def praise(self):
return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)
def reassurance(self):

def feedback(self, grade):

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

- you already have the class defined, don't repeat "class Student()"
- there must be a space after the keyword "def"
- the new method needs to take a "name" argument in addition to "self"
- the method code needs to use the argument to set the internal name variable
