To give yourself the best chance for a quick answer, don't add a question onto an old one. Start a fresh question, and be sure to show your code (or the part you have so far) and post a link to the course page you're working with (if any).

In the HTML portion, there's a stray quote-mark in front of the paragraph. Otherwise, that part is good.

But for the CSS section, the basic structure for a rule is a selector followed by a pair of braces. And for a class selector, you are correct to place a period in front of the name. But you won't need the word "class" or the equal-sign.
