I'm stuck. 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 > 50:
            return self.praise()
        else:
            return self.reassurance()

You code shouldn't have the quotations after the self.name. Also, make sure you have the parenthesis surrounding the whole statement. Let me know if this helps!

Oops, must have hit ' when I hit enter....thank you!
