Override init in Student so name can be set when an instance is created with name="some name". You might want to unpack a dict.
The code below is not working. I get the error: Wasn't able to set name. Any insight would be much appreciated.
class Student:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.name=kwargs.get("some name", "David")

Treehouse Guest TeacherWhen we create the instance, we'll do Student(name="some name"). So your kwarg shouldn't be "some name" it should be.... ?
