Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsYou're off to a great start! You have defined the __init__() method that points to the instance using self and accepts a parameter name. You will need to add a colon (:) at the end of the def line.
The last step is to assign the name attribute of the self instance the value name that was passed in:
self.name = name
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 56,430 Pointsnow it says this: "Great! Sometimes I have other attributes I need to store on a Student instance, though. Can you use **kwargs and setattr to add attributes for any other key/value pairs I want to send to the instance when I create it?" could you help me that?

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsStarting at 3:30 in the previous video, Kenneth show how to add the **kwargs parameter and a loop to add the attributes. Please give that a try first.
