Alright, I need you make a new method named feedback. It should take an argument named grade. Methods take arguments just like functions do. You'll still need self in there, though.
If grade is above 50, return the result of the praise method. If it's 50 or below, return the reassurance method's result.
class Student:
name = "Your Name"
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):
if grade > 50:
return praise()
else:
return reasurance()

But the function shown here doesn't take any argument (other than the implicit "self").
Also remember to use the "self." prefix when calling instance methods from within the class, and be careful about spelling!

17,417 PointsI used your reccomendation and it did not work. Would you please show me the code. I will make sure to take in and absorb the code as well as I can.
Steven Parker
231,261 PointsShow the code you have now with the argument and the "self." prefixes added and the spelling fixed and I'll take another look.

231,261 PointsYou've gone way off-track here, and were closer the first time.
The instructions are to "make a new method named feedback". You won't need to make any changes to the methods that are already there.

231,261 PointsSo that's got the parameter added, but you still need to add the "self." prefixes to the method calls and fix the spelling.
Jack Cummins
17,417 PointsI don't get it. Where am I supposed to put the self.prefixes method? I know that this is a dumb question, but I really do not get what this code challenge was asking me to do. Would you please help me?
Sorrry for my troubles, Jack

231,261 PointsWhen you call an internal method, like "return praise()", add the prefix to the method name: "return self.praise()".

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

def feedback(self, grade):
if grade > 50:
return self.praise()
else:
return self.reasurance()
This code doesn't pass.
Steven Parker
231,261 PointsYou still need to fix the spelling.
