To make an instance use the class name followed by parens: Student() and assign it to a variable is of the form:

myinstance = Class()

To refer an attribute of a class instance use: myinstance.attribute_name, then printing it would be of the form:

print(myinstance.attribute_name)

Post back if you need more help. Good Luck!!
