Why doesn't this work?

It keeps hitting me with an error in the face, but i can't see what i'm doing wrong...

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

    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    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()

(self.name = name) is missing in - def init
