Not sure what I'm missing here, tells me I'm missing my self argument.

I'm stumped here to my knowledge I've added the self argument to the praise method like instructed, printed out the text but it doesn't even get there it throws the error saying i forgot my self argument.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Jay"

    def praise(self):
        print("Your doing great {}".format(self))
        return

Hi Jt

First of all, as said in the instructions there's no need to print out anything so only a return statement will suffice. So replace print with return. Don't forget to add a space between return and the message.

And secondly, you need to return a message about the student using the name attribute. You can access name like this: self.name. So instead of .format(self) you need to use .format(self.name)

If you make these replacements you should pass the challenge just fine. I tested it out myself.

Hope this helps!
