Try force-reloading your webpage Mackewinnson, your solution works well for me

$('.student-list').on('click', function(event){
  $(event.target).hide(event.target);
});

Actually both solutions work for me

$('.student-list').on('click', function(event){
  $(event.target).hide();
});

The error message contains a good clue: " Bummer: Within the anonymous function passed to the "on" method call, did you unintentionally supply arguments to the "hide" method call on the jQuery object with an argument of "event.target"? "

So for this challenge the "hide" call should not have an argument. In actual use, it can take either a duration or an options object argument. See the API page on .hide() for more details.
