YOUR answer does reflect a good programming practice of defining a meaningful __init__ method.
The automated Challenge grader is not expecting the REQUIRED "name" parameter in your __init__ method and fails its unit test.
You CAN make your __init__ method pass if you include a default parameter value for name. See below.
Again, nice job! Keep up the good work with your Python studies.
class Student:
# change your __init__ method
def __init__(self, name="Your Name"):
self.name = name
def praise(self):
return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)
def reassurance(self):
return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)
def feedback(self,grade):
if grade > 50:
return self.praise()
return self.reassurance()
