JavaScript jQuery Basics Introducing jQuery Using text() and html()

Need assistance on Challenge 3/3

Challenge Task 3 of 3 You've just learned how to use the jQuery methods text() and html(). Use the appropriate jQuery method to select the h1 element by its class name and set its contents to "Student <span>Profile</span>". I'm stuck in a loop where anything I've put for this tells me that challenge 1 is no longer passing.

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
const content = "Student<span>Profile</span>";

$('.profile-text').text("I am a web developer");

$('.profile-header').html(content);

You shouldn't need to create a new variable for this one, try deleting line 1 and passing the string directly into the html method.

there should be a space between "Student" and <span>.
