It looks like you passed task 1.

But then...

  • remember how Python uses indentation. If you indent the lines below your class, Python will think that they are supposed to be part of the class.
  • you won't need to use "pass" here
  • remember that Python is case sensitive — "student" is not the same thing as "Student"
  • creating "me" is only part of task 2. Remember you also need to print something

Hopefully these hints will get you going again.

The last part of task 2 is "Then print() out the name attribute of your instance." So you would have the function name, and the argument in parentheses would be the name attribute of your new object.
