praise/reassurance exercise

I'm not sure what am I doing wrong here

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Your 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 is > 50:
            return self.praise()
        else
            return self.reassurance()

When you get the generic "Bummer Try Again" sometimes it is useful to move the code to a workspace for better feedback. That would show you two syntax errors.

Here:

if grade is > 50:
