setter method running wrong value?

unsure about what Im doing wrong in this exercise

creating_setters.js
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }

    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }

    get major () {
      if ("Junior" || "Senior") {
            return this._major;
        } else {
        return this._major = "none";
        }
    }

    set major(majorpara) {
        this._major = majorpara;
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

Hey Chanel,

Pretty sure you just needed to refer to this.level for the "Senior" and "Junior" declarations.

set major(major) {
      if (this.level === "Junior" || this.level === "Senior") {
            this._major = major;
        } else {
            this._major = "None";
        }
    }

    get major() {
        return this._major;
    }

Edit: looks like your get and set were flipped too, this should pass the second part of the challenge Hope this helps,
