first_class.py : I cannot get this code to pass!

Everytime I try to pass this code in task two, task one stops passing. What's going on?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        self.name = name

        for key, value in self.kwargs.items():
            setattr(key, value, self)

    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()

Hi there,

I kept it simple so my code is within yours. I just didn't do anything with **kwargs:

    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

That worked for me.

Steve.
