Your code is working fine. I just initiated the class and called its function

class Student: name = "Your Name"

def __init__(self,name="hhhyhy",**kwargs):
    self.name=name
    for key,value in kwargs:
        setattr(self,key,value)

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 self.praise()
    return self.reassurance()

student = Student('Pavan') print(student.praise()) print(student.reassurance()) print(student.feedback(grade=55))
