On the last else you don't have to write "else false". It knows it is active when the values are false. Also your syntax was a little off on the last alert.

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else {
    alert("Who are you?");
}

Hope this helps :)
