Change for values in keys.values(): with for values in COURSES[keys]:

I think the issue here is that you are checking whether the 2 sets match (if topic_set == values:) instead of checking to see if they overlap/intersect (if topic_set & values:)

Switch the operator and you should be good to go!

If in doubt the docs are are always super handy: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#set
