__init__ function

Can someone help me with the below code.

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

    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()

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

Stud = Student(self,name = "Mohammed")

Do you see any difference between your keys?

kwargs.get("Name") and when you define it Student(self, name="Mohammed")

Let me know if that hint doesn't do the trick ;)
