creating_functions.py

This is what the code challenge says:

Write a function called hello_student. This function should receive one argument, name. This function should return one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter.

I can not understand what they are trying to get me to do. Maybe if someone explained it a diferant way, I would get it. Anything helps, thanks :)

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student():
    name = ('')
    return 'Hello'

See Parameters here. The example given it pretty close to what the challenge is asking you to do.
