Interpreter appears to be broken. My code is not passing, even though it works fine using all other interpreters.

class Student: name = "James"

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 grade > 50:
        return praise()
    else:
        return reassurance()
first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "James"

    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 grade > 50:
            return praise()
        if grade < 50:
            return reassurance()

The instructions contain this reminder regarding calling other methods: "You'll still need self in there, though."

Also, the instructions ask for the second case to apply when the value is "50 or below", but this code seems to be looking specifically for below 50. Hint: you can replace the second test with a plain "else".
