Just pass the content inside the method as a string:

$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer");

The second part is almost the same as the first one. You want to use the html method in the <h1> tag. Inside the method you should paste the correct content that the quiz is asking:

$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer");
$(".profile-header").html("Student <span>Profile</span>");

Don't forget the order of the declarations, the challenge will verify one line after the other!

P.S.: if you're happy with the answer mark your question as answered ;-)
