Trying to finish Functions Packing & Unpacking. The test tells me that the programming is wrong.

I ran the program on the side and is working.

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(Name):
    nam = ("Hello"+" " + Name)
    return (nam)

print(hello_student(Raoul))

You need to pass a string to your function so Raoul should be enclosed in quotes.

hello_student("Raoul")

To call the function and save the results in variable hello you use the assignment operator:

hello = hello_student("Raoul")
