This seems inconsistent.

The following works...

def feedback(self,grade): if grade > 50: return self.praise() else: return self.reassurance()

Why do I need to pass in grade if I make grade a member of Student? Couldn't I do the following?

def feedback(self): if self.grade > 50: return self.praise() else: return self.reassurance()

self is all that I need to pass in for the other methods.

For this challenge, it really doesn't make sense to pass in the grade as an argument to the feedback function. grade should be an instance variable just like you have it but I think for the purposes of the challenge, they wanted to teach you about passing arguments to methods of classes.
