The second quiz of the object-oriented python beginner course. The prompt is:

First, I need you to add a method named praise to the Student class. It should take the self argument. Then, inside the praise method, return a positive message about the student using the name attribute. As an example, it could say "You're doing a great job, Jacinta!" or "I really like your hair today, Michael!". Feel free to change the name attribute to your own name, too!

My answer so far is:

class Student:
    name = "Alexis"

    def praise(self, name):
        return ("You're doing a great job, {}!".format(name))

Not sure what i'm missing - the error message is "Bummer: Oh no! You forgot the self argument in your praise method" Thanks!

Hi there, Alexis Suberville! That method only needs to take self. The name attribute is defined on the Student. So assuming you only sent in self, you should be able to format that string with self.name as opposed to just name.

It's wanting a:

def praise(self):

Then you should be able to use self.name in the formatting of that string.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
