confused with using __init__ & kwargs

what is wrong with my code?

first_class.py 
class Student:

    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()
