This class should look familiar! I need you to add a method name praise. The method should return a positive message

Where am i going wrong here

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Ernest"

    def praise(self):
    return ("You're doing a great job, {}!".format(self.name))

Just indent the return keyword inside the praise function.

Python is very strict about indentation. :-)

Anytime that you have a class, method, or function you need to indent as Jonathan said. 4 spaces or 1 tab is the best practice for pep8. Check it out here for more info: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

An example looks like:

class ExampleClass:
    name = "Nathan"

    def exampleFunction(self):
        return self.name
