$('.profile-header').html('Student <span>Profile</span>'); should be an answer as per task

Student <span>Profile</span>, content is being displayed by html method, in h1 selector, as above syntax code but it's not accepting the answer as true, what is the answer for this ?

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>

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

It looks like you got tasks 2 and 3 mixed up with each other. Task 2 says "set the contents of the $('.profile-text') element to "I am a web developer".", but this code is setting that string to the $('.profile-header') element instead.

There's a similar mix-up with the task 3 element and contents.

Also, for task 3, you'll need to set the "html" property instead of "text" since the content contains formatting tags.
