Rather stuck here, any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

first_class.py 
class Student:

    name = "Your Name"

    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        self.name = name
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, name, value)

    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()

    def __init__(self, grade, **kwargs):
        self.grade = grade
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, grade, value)

Hi, you're setting the wrong key and value pair in the init method, please see the code below:

class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        self.name = name
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    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()

It says this doesn't have an answer correct but that worked
