Hi Shihab,

You're very close! You have the method inside of the Class and it takes a parameter self. This will pull from the Class param being inserted. So, when you are trying to access that parameter, it should be self.name not Student.name.

Also, and this is just a note to help keep your code DRY. You can directly return the string instead of assigning it to a variable and then returning the variable. In fact, the direct return would be the Best Practice, as the variable is completely unnecessary.

Nice Work! :) :dizzy:
