What is the mistake in my code ?

class Student: name = "Muhamed"

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()
first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Muhamed"

    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()

Hey Mohamed! Two things, one is that your forgetting that your currently only returning the reassurance if the grade is below 50, but you should also do it if its equal. Also when you call a method you want that self infront, so your code should look like this:

def feedback(self, grade):
    if grade > 50:
        return self.praise() #Added a self before praise
    else: #Instead of grade < 50 lets just add an else, seeing as this will run if its equal or less that 50
        return self.reassurance() #Added self before reassurance

Hope this helps!
