Teacher's note

Question

I tried the code from the teacher's note. But when running the code I got an AttributeError: 'NewClass' object ha no attribute 'name'
Wondered if the code in the method:
Python 
def name_method(self):
       return self.name

should be:
Python 
def name_method(self):
       return self.name_method

Any comment on this?
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

You are correct!!. The teacher’s notes for What are Objects and Classes (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/what-are-objects-and-classes) lists the code:
```Python 
class NewClass:
    name_attribute = "Kenneth"
def name_method(self):
    return self.name
```
The method should be referencing self.name_attribute and not self.name
Good catch!!
