In step 5, I had the comment from the default widget function copied from the Wordpress Codex. It threw the error!

The compiler of Treehouse needs to improvise. Like it showed me error for keeping the comment.

plugin.php 
<?php

    class My_Plugin_Widget extends WP_Widget {

        function my_plugin_widget() {
            parent::__construct( false, 'My Plugin Widget' );
        }

    function widget( $args, $instance ) {
    extract( $args );
    $title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', $instance['title']);
    }

    function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
        // Save widget options
    $instance = $old_instance;
    $instance['title'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['title']);
    return $instance;
    }

    function form( $instance ) {
        // Output admin widget options form
    $title = esc_attr( $instance['title']);
    require('inc/widget-fields.php');
    }

    }
