Classes - What am I doing wrong?

I'm having trouble solving the second part of this code challenge. I think I've created the instance, but am I not printing it out properly?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = 'NAME'

me = Student()
print(me.name())

To access an instance's attribute you should use: instance.attribute without the parenthesis - that's for method calls.
