I don't get the question

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?

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

    def __init__(self, name,**kwargs):
        self.name = name
        for key,value in kwargs.items():
            setatter(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()

It looks like you got the coding correct but you have a typo: setattr instead of setatter
