What am I doing wrong here?

I keep getting AssertionError for this. I can't figure why it wouldn't print the "Hello (name)".

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(name):
    print("Hello " + name)

From the challenge requirements "This function should RETURN one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter."

You used print, try using return.
