I don't know what I'm doing wrong to select all LI within class student-name and then use eq() method.
''' $('.student-list li').eq(2);
<!DOCTYPE html>

<h2>Student List</h2>
<ul class="student-list">

$('.student-list li').eq(2);

That's what the challenge was trying to hint at when it give you the error "Bummer: Did you call jQuery with the selector "li"?"
