Treehouse gives bummer for __init__ problem, I can't seem to find the issue with it

The specific issue is with __init__ and Treehouse is giving a bummer. I can't find the issue with my code though. I took the code to the IDLE and nothing is wrong with it, working just as it should. Am I missing a direction here? Or maybe this solution only works with one type of input?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        self.name = name
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def praise(self):
        return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)

    def reassurance(self):
        return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)

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

Cutting and pasting your formatted code does pass. However, looking at the source of your post, the raw text mixes spaces and tabs. This causes the real error:

  File "<string>", line 6
    for key, value in kwargs.items():
                                    ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Ian;

Your code posted above passes the challenge just fine on my end. Perhaps trying it again. Maybe there was a glitch in the system when you tried it previously.

Happy coding,
Ken
