You need to put a question mark before the ngModel because it is optional, you also don't need the comma and the 2 question marks after it. Your code should look like this:

angular.module('treehouseCourse', [])
  .directive('sometimesTwoWay', function() {
    return {
      // YOUR CODE HERE
      require: '?ngModel'
    }
  });

If you think my answer was good, feel free to mark it as best answer below, if you need more help in the future from me, you can contact me at devinwscheu@gmail.com.
