I don't understand why my solution isn't correct.

Can anyone help?

courses/admin.py 
from django.contrib import admin

from . import models

class TextAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fields = ['course', 'title', 'order', 'description']


admin.site.register(Text,TextAdmin)

You are doing everything right, except you need to reference where the 'Text' attribute resides. It is part of 'models' so when you call it for customizing it you're going to need to reference 'models.Text'.

from django.contrib import admin

from . import models

#step 1
class TextAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  fields = ['course', 'title', 'order', 'description']

#step 2
admin.site.register(models.Text, TextAdmin)
