JavaScript AngularJS An Introduction to Directives Directives: restrict

I can't figure this out. Please, help!

Challenge: Update the myCourse directive so that it can be attached to the HTML only via an attribute.

It keeps saying there is a SyntaxError, but I can't figure out what I've done wrong.

Thank you!

app.js 
angular.module('treehouseCourse', [])
  .directive('myCourse', function() {
    return {
      restrict: 'A', link: function ($scope, $element, $attr) { alert('Welcome to my course')
    }
  });
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="treehouseCourse">
<head>
  <title>Angular.js</title>
  <script src="js/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

  <div my-course></div>

</body>
</html>

It looks like your main error is the use of the $ sign on your link function parameters:

Part 1 is looking for this:

angular.module('treehouseCourse', [])
  .directive('myCourse', function() {
    return {
      restrict: 'A',
    }
  });

Part 2 looks for this:

angular.module('treehouseCourse', [])
  .directive('myCourse', function() {
    return {
      restrict: 'A',
      link: function( scope, element, attr ){alert( 'Welcome to my course' )}
    }
  });

Hope this clear things up.
