no docstring

Why is this wrong?

class Treehouse: """Gives a pleasant message about the student.""" def student(self, name): return '{} is a great Treehouse student!'.format(name)

starter.py 
class Treehouse:
    """Gives a pleasant message about the student."""
    def student(self, name):
        return '{} is a great Treehouse student!'.format(name)
