I don't know how to put the name attribute in praise.

Help. How are you supposed to put the name attribute in praise.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Kevin"
    def praise(self):
        if self.name:
            return "Ur so cool Kevin"

You won't need an "if" since the function should always do the same thing. But you had the right idea about using "self.name".

There are many ways to solve this, but one thing you could do is "concatenate" it (add it on) to the string:

        return "Ur so cool " + self.name
