I don't understand what it means by it can't find Student when I set it to my name.

It says that it can't find Student, so I'm guessing that I need to do Student = Noa(my name) but it's not working.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = Noah
    student = Noah

Hi Noah. You don't need the line "student = Noah"

Just simply put your name in quotes since its a string.

Um... so I did what you said I literally wrote "Noah" but it still says I can't find student. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong please.

Needs to be name = “Noah”. Sorry about the confusion. I went back and looked at what I wrote.
