I should be close

what is missing here?

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(grade, self):
        if grade > 50:
            return praise(self)
        else:
            return reassurance(self)

Hi Dimitrios,

You should change the order of your parameters. self should always be the first parameter.

You also have 2 problems with how you're calling the praise and reassurance methods.

The self object is something that gets automatically passed in as an argument when calling these methods so you don't need anything within the parentheses.

Also, you have to call these methods on the self object that gets passed into the feedback method.

Example:

return self.praise()
