first_class.py - I don't understand why this code isn't working.

Hi,

The error message I get is " Bummer! Didn't find the the praise message with a grade over 50."

I assume this means the calling code is setting the variable 'grade' to a value over 50 and then passing it to the feedback()

Feedback() has a simple if statement in it, that I've stared at for ages and can't see why it wouldn't return the correct string. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Rich"
    grade = 0 #I'm assuming that the calling code will set this variable as part of the tests

    def praise(self):
        return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)

    def reassurance(self):
        return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)

    def feedback(self, grade):
        if self.grade > 50:
            return self.praise()
        else:
            return self.reassurance()

Never mind - I restarted the assessment from scratch, and got it the second time :)
