Can someone guide me a bit?

I'm confused on what I did wrong.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "grade"

    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()
    else:
        return self.reassurance()

You have an indentation error.

Everything that is part of a method must be indented more than the "def" line of the method.

Otherwise, it looks good! :+1:

I did that, and I'm still getting the error "Exception: object() takes no parameters. How do I fix that?

And all you did was move the last 4 lines over to the right 1 stop? You might need to post the code again as it is now.

Yes I did. I moved it 1 stop over. Here's what it looks like.

class Student: name = "grade"

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()
    else:
        return self.reassurance()

When I paste your new code directly into the challenge (after correcting the formatting), it passes! Are you sure you're still working on this same challenge? That error message sounds like something you might get from the next challenge.

To get your spacing to show properly when you post code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.
