231,184 PointsIt looks like you copied the code from the "level" getter method. It does something entirely different from what a setter method would do.
The backing property should only be set to the parameter if the level is either "Junior" or "Senior". Otherwise it should be set to the string "None".
Also:
- the instructions don't ask for a "major" getter method
- setters don't need to return a value
