I'm really not clear what this challenge is asking exactly but it doesn't seem to pass the check?
(also I can see links to the relevant discussions in the forums for the videos, is there an equivalent for the challenges - so I can easily see the different ways people solved it (and also cut down on my stupid questions)?)
Thanks.
class Student:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.name = kwargs( name = 'B')

Treehouse Guest TeacherWow, that one is badly described. Let me fix that. Thanks for pointing it out.
EDIT: updated the CC to better describe what you should do on that step.
To point out something in your provided code, kwargs is a dictionary, so you wouldn't call it like a function.

14,136 Pointsok am I obviously being a bit thick here as this is not working?
class Student():
name = 'B'
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

Treehouse Guest TeacherNo, totally my fault. Got too many things going on today. It needs to be a keyword argument with a default value. Again, updated the prompt. All you need to change on your code is make it name="Some Default" in the __init__ definition.
Sorry about that.

575 PointsThis is a big issue with Treehouse. I see this topic on internet forums all over the place. I wish some of the treehouse team would DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I'm new, and I don't like the way there is nothing to point me in the right direction, or a place to go and see others code for the challenges. I think the challenges need to be revised ASAP in order for users to learn faster instead of aimlessly beating around the bush (especially like your case where the question is worded poorly)
