I have no idea why this won't pass

I've tried numerous times and even looked up the answer. I don't see what I am doing wrong here.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('.profile-text').text("I am a web developer");
$('.profile-header').html("Student<span>Profile</span>");

I agree with Ben. Copy and paste the argument below what you have now and it should be easy to see.
