var students = [ { name: 'Dave', track: 'Front End Development', achievements: 158, points: 14730 }, { name: 'Jody', track: 'iOS Development with Swift', achievements: '175', points: '16375' }, { name: 'Jordan', track: 'PHP Development', achievements: '55', points: '2025' }, { name: 'John', track: 'Learn WordPress', achievements: '40', points: '1950' }, { name: 'Trish', track: 'Rails Development', achievements: '5', points: '350' } ];
var message = ''; function print(message){ var div = document.getElementById('output'); div.innerHTML = message; return message; }
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i++) { message += '<p><br><strong>Student</strong>: ' + students[i].name + '</p></br>'; message += '<p>Track: ' + students[i].track + '</p>'; message += '<p>Achievement: ' + students[i].achievements + '</p>'; message += '<p>Points: ' + students[i].points; + '</p>'; }
print(message);

{student :'Sarah', track : 'IOS', achievement : '500', points :'1500'},
{student :'Mark', track : 'Android', achievement : '200', points :'1200'},
{student :'Russel', track : 'Java', achievement : '300', points :'1300'},
{student :'Lindsey', track : '.Net', achievement : '600', points :'1600'},
{student :'Carmen', track : 'ASP', achievement : '100', points :'1100'}
]
for (i=0; i < student.length ; i++){
document.write('<b>Student: ' + student[i].student + '</b>');
document.write('<br>'+ 'Track: ' + student[i].track);
document.write('<br>'+ 'Achievement: '+ student[i].achievement);
document.write('<br>'+ 'Track: ' + student[i].points);
document.write('<br><br>');
}
Looks primitive, but this is how i did it and i'm pretty sure that's how the OP did it too.

1,845 PointsThis is what I did. Which is almost identical to what you have. However, I feel like storing the function in a variable is redundant so I just left the function alone, declared a variable HTML (like the previous lessons), and then had the loop += to the HTML variable.
function print(message){
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
var HTML = '';
var students = [
{
Name: 'Jerry',
Track: 'Front End Development',
Achievements: 10,
Points: 1216
},
{
Name: 'Angelica',
Track: 'iOS',
Achievements: 8,
Points: 1000
},
{
Name: 'Robert',
Track: 'Full Stack Developer',
Achievements: 47,
Points: 17000
},
{
Name: 'Jordan',
Track: 'Front End Developer',
Achievements: 7,
Points: 900
},
{
Name: 'Kai',
Track: 'Full Stack Developer',
Achievements: 36,
Points: 14000
}
];
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i++){
HTML += '<br>'
HTML += '<b>Student: ' + students[i].Name + '</b><br>';
HTML += 'Track: ' + students[i].Track + '<br>';
HTML += 'Achievements: ' + students[i].Achievements + '<br>';
HTML += 'Points: ' + students[i].Points + '<br>';
}
print(HTML);

I'm not sure if it actually qualifies as "improvement", but:
for (let i=0; i < student.length ; i++){
let s = student[i];
document.write(`<b>Student: ${s.student}</b>`);
document.write(`<br>Track: ${s.track}`);
document.write(`<br>Achievement: ${s.achievement}`);
document.write(`<br>Track: ${s.points}`);
document.write('<br><br>');
}
