I'd like to be able to set the name attribute at the same time that I create

Can someone please assist me and tell me where I went wrong. Thank you

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Sinazo"
    def __init__ (self,name, **kwargs):
        self.name = name
        for key, value in kwargs.item():
            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()

You have a small typo on line 5. It should be 'items' (in plural) and not 'item'.

for key, value in kwargs.items():
