I get the following message: Didn't find the name in the praise message. Be sure to use the instance attribute!

I have executed it in a notebook and it actually works.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Raul"

    def praise(self):
        return "Good job, %s" % Student.name


Raul = Student()

Student.praise(Raul)

Hey! If I'm reading this correctly, you need a class with a praise method that returns a string with the instantiated name to the class. Try this, and see if your challenge passes.

class Student:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def praise(self):
        return "Good job, %s" % (self.name)



Raul = Student("Raul")

print(Raul.praise())
