The spacing might be hard to see in the video. The first literal string should not be empty, it should have a space in it. And the other one should have both a colon and a space in it.

you will need to add a + after role, and then period in single quotes.

Jaime, have you taken this course? You specifically do not want to add punctuation after the role.
