On method does not work in Events with jQuery quiz.

I've copied and pasted from working example from exercises and copied and pasted names from question.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Student List</h2>

    <ul class="student-list">
        <li>James McAvoy</li>
        <li>Alena Holligan</li>
        <li>Wade Christensen</li>
        <li>Matt Krzyzynski</li>
    </ul>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('.student-list').on('click', 'ul', function(event){
});

Though it won't be obvious until task 2, the handler is intended to respond to events on the UL's children. So just omit the filter selector argument.
