Python Object-Oriented Python Instant Objects __init__

Object Orientated Python - Task 1 of 2

I have added the def method with init, however my code is coming up wrong, what have I done wrong?

first_class.py
class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs)
        self.name = name

    def praise(self):
        return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)

    def reassurance(self):
        return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)

    def feedback(self, grade):
        if grade > 50:
            return self.praise()
        return self.reassurance()

# They want just this
def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

# Not w/ **kwargs
def __init__(self, name, **kwargs)
        self.name = name

Thank you!
