I'm stuck. What am I doing wrong here?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Your 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()
        else:
            return self.reassurance()

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

You code shouldn't have the quotations after the self.name. Also, make sure you have the parenthesis surrounding the whole statement. Let me know if this helps!
