Template literal not outputting its value in Workspaces. Have I made a typo?

For some reason when I run the code below in node in workspaces, I get something different logged to the console than in the video. Am I doing something wrong??

My console log:

  • setter called: ${owner}
  • Ashley

Instead of:

  • setter called: Ashley
  • Ashley
class Pet {
  constructor(animal, age, breed, sound) {
    this.animal = animal;
    this.age = age;
    this.breed = breed;
    this.sound = sound;
  }

  get activity() {
    const today = new Date();
    const hour = today.getHours();

    if (hour > 8 && hour <= 20) {
      return 'playing';
    } else {
      return 'sleeping';
    }
  }

  get owner() {
    return this._owner;
  }

  set owner(owner) {
    this._owner = owner;
    console.log('setter called: ${owner}');
  }

  speak() {
    console.log(this.sound);
  }
}

const ernie = new Pet('dog', 1, 'pug', 'yip yip');
const millie = new Pet('dog', 5, 'spaniel', 'woof woof');

ernie.owner = 'Ashley';
console.log(ernie.owner);

This

console.log('setter called: ${owner}');

should be this (with back ticks not single quotes)

console.log(`setter called: ${owner}`);
