JavaScript Basics challenge answer not correct

I answered this challenge:

And an else if clause that tests to see if the isStudent variable is true. If it is then open an alert dialog with the message 'Welcome student'.

with this code:

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
}  else if ( isStudent ) {
  alert('Welcome Student');  
}

It said the answer was not correct but it appears to be. Am I missing something?

"Am I missing something?"

Yes, you are - capitalization ^^

The message of the alert is supposed to be "Welcome student", but in your case it reads "Welcome Student"
