Code academy: How is everybody doing?

I am at CodeAcademy at Lesson 9 ("How is everybody doing?") My error message is the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python", line 60, in <module>
  File "python", line 52, in get_class_average
  File "python", line 28, in get_average
TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str

I don't know what to do, I searched for solutions already, they suggested me to use the variable q, which I put in my code but the problem seems to be something in my already existing code from the previous lessons.

 # creating students
 lloyd = {
   "name": "Lloyd",
   "homework": [90.0, 97.0, 75.0, 92.0],
   "quizzes": [88.0, 40.0, 94.0],
   "tests": [75.0, 90.0]
 }
 alice = {
   "name": "Alice",
   "homework": [100.0, 92.0, 98.0, 100.0],
   "quizzes": [82.0, 83.0, 91.0],
   "tests": [89.0, 97.0]
 }
 tyler = {
   "name": "Tyler",
   "homework": [0.0, 87.0, 75.0, 22.0],
   "quizzes": [0.0, 75.0, 78.0],
   "tests": [100.0, 100.0]
 }

# Add your function below!
def average(numbers):
   total = sum(numbers)
   total = float(total)
   return float(total)/ len(numbers)

def get_average(student):
   homework = average(student["homework"])
   quizzes = average(student["quizzes"])
   tests = average(student["tests"])
   return 0.1 * homework + 0.3 * quizzes + 0.6 * tests

def get_letter_grade(score):
   if score >= 90:
       return "A"
   elif score >= 80:
       return "B"
   elif score >= 70:
       return "C"
   elif score >= 60:
       return "D"
   else:
       return "F"

 #summarising students to classlist
 students = ["lloyd", "alice", "tyler"]

 # calculating class average        
def get_class_average(students):
   results = []
   for student in students:
       results.append(get_average(student))
   return average(results)

 #printing grades       
print get_letter_grade(get_average(lloyd))
print get_letter_grade(get_average(alice))
print get_letter_grade(get_average(tyler))

q = get_class_average(students)
#printing class average
print get_letter_grade 
print q

In get_class_average you call get_average with the objects in the students list. However, these objects are strings. Instead, you probably want the variables you defined before. So replace the line

students = ["lloyd", "alice", "tyler"]

with

students = [lloyd, alice, tyler]
