# The dictionary will look something like:

#  'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
#
# Each key will be a Teacher and the value will be a list of courses.
#
# Your code goes below here.

    return len(a_dict.keys())

    count = 0
    for teacher in a_dict:
        count += len(a_dict[teacher])

Hey Terry Felder! I copied and pasted the above code into the challenge and it passed all five tasks for me. Meaning that you haven't got any bugs in this piece of code. Yay! All I can suggest is trying to retake the challenge. Best of luck. :)

Hi Terry, It looks like you have mixed TABs and SPACEs. It's best to consistently use only spaces.
