Hey Jonathan,

For this challenge, they're looking for you to make an instance of the Student class and then print out its name attribute. The "me" you have in the code above is a method within the class. Hope this helps:

class Student:
    name = 'jon'

me = Student() # this creates instance of "Student"
print(me.name) # prints "name" attribute of the "me" instance
