Challenge Task 1 of 3

Take a look at the index.html file and examine the attributes on each element. Use jQuery to select the paragraph tag by its class name.

You don't need to save your jQuery selection to a variable or call any methods on it yet.

$('.profile-text')

Challenge Task 2 of 3

You've just learned how to use the jQuery methods text() and html(). Use the appropriate jQuery method to set the contents of the $('.profile-text') element to "I am a web developer".

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

Challenge Task 3 of 3

You've just learned how to use the jQuery methods text() and html(). Use the appropriate jQuery method to select the h1 element by its class name and set its contents to "Student <span>Profile</span>".

$('.profile-text').text("I am a web developer");
$('.profile-header').html("Student <span>Profile</span>");

Sorry, I did not know where are you in the challenge. This is my solution, maybe I copy and paste the text and I use " but you use simple paragraph tags.
