How do I return the name attribute inside this method?

Was there supposed to be a print statement?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Caroline"
    def praise(self):
        return "Your doing a great job {}".format(name)

You forgot to add self. part to name

        return "Your doing a great job {}".format(self.name)
