Using text() and html()

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here. I'm getting an error when I submit my code asking me if I used the .profile-text class.

But the task at hand was to select the h1 element and then push in the string "Student <span> Profile </span>".

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('.profile-header').html('Student <span>Profile</span>');

You've got it right, but there was a task before this one, and that code seems to have been deleted or replaced.

Don't forget the part of the instructions that say, "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task."
