let message = class average: ${classAverage}. Your grade: ${studentGrade}.
if(passed) {
message += ‘You passed the course.’
} else {
message += ‘You failed the course.’
}

return message

the string has to match exactly
For example, it should start with a capital letter here

8

Look at the class in the return message, try with capital for the first letter, this result is case sensitive.

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

is this the correct string? (fail or failed?)

please double check your work. The strings should match exactly.
Make use of console.log to help you check.
