please help

Chain some animation effects to the $('.profile-header') element.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header">Student <span>Profile</span></h1>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
'
$ ('.profile-header') .hide();
$ (".profile-header").hide().delay(2000).fadeIn();

What you have on the third line is all you need. 

$('.profile-header').hide().delay(2000).fadeIn();

It ends up getting interpreted as:

$('.profile-header').hide();
$('.profile-header').delay(2000);
$('.profile-header').fadeIn();

But is much simpler / cleaner.
