You will need to create an instance of the class and assign it to a variable named 'me' The using the variable 'me' get the value of the variable/attribute 'name' and print it out.

Here's how I would do it

me = Student()
print(me.name)

you'll need to add something like this:

class Student:
    name = 'Your_name'

me = Student()
print(me.name)
