I am so confused as to why this is not working. I try it on a text editor and it works perfectly fine. Can someone please direct me to another explanation of class's.

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

    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()

adrian = Student()
print(adrian.feedback(55))

Hi there, Adrian Diaz! It looks like you're doing really well and you're almost there. You just haven't quite finished the assignment the task set out for you. The task asks you to return self.praise() if the grade was greater than 50, which you did just fine. However, if it's not greater than 50 it should return self.reassurance(). In short, you're missing an else statement in your feedback() method.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

edited for additional information: Also, you will not need to create an instance of Student yourself or print anything for the purposes of this challenge. :smiley:
