But you'll also need to fix your assignment of name — it should contain a string with your name in it.

You've got the class, so to create an instance, use something like:
a_student_instance = Student()
Pass in any required parameters inside the parentheses.
Make sense?
Steve.

Steven Parker has it covered ...

def" keyword. Have you already had the Python Basics course? If not, you might want to pause this one and go take that one first.
