Why is this code wrong (praise function)?

I can't figure out why this is incorrect. I even ran it outside of this question and it ran and gave me the output I wanted: "Alex, nice hair!"

Thanks in advance.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Alex"

    def praise(self):
        return print("{}, nice hair!".format(self))
        # Or you can use the following
        # praise(name)

Student.praise(Student.name)

Try this:

class Student:

  name = "Alex"

  def praise(self):
      return "{}, nice hair!".format(self.name)
