I am not too sure whats wrong with my code here! Please help.

You've just learned how to use the jQuery methods text() and html(). Use the appropriate jQuery method to select the h1 element by its class name and set its contents to "Student <span>Profile</span>".

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('.profile-header').html("Student<span>Profile</span>".);

$('.profile-header').html("Student<span>Profile</span>".); 

<!--should have a space between Student and <span>-->
<!--take off the ending full stop, you have before the last bracket-->
