In Context.cs add a default constructor that sets the database initializer to an instance of the DropCreateDatabaseAlway

I am missing something but seems I am not able to solve this issue a little help

Context.cs 
using System.Data.Entity;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Context : DbContext
    {
        // DEFAULT CONSTRUCTOR
        Public Context()
        {
            //database initializer to an instance of the DropCreateDatabaseAlways class
            //so that EF will drop and create our database on every app start
            Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<Context>());

        }
        public DbSet<Course> Courses { get; set; }

    }
}

Just one little typo...

You wrote "Public" (with a capital "P") instead of "public" (with a lower-case "p").

Hello Joe! You shouldn't capitalize "public" on line 8. Other than that the task should pass as it did so for me. 

using System.Data.Entity;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Context : DbContext
    {
        // DEFAULT CONSTRUCTOR
        public Context()
        {
            //database initializer to an instance of the DropCreateDatabaseAlways class
            //so that EF will drop and create our database on every app start
            Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<Context>());

        }
        public DbSet<Course> Courses { get; set; }

    }
}
