Core Data NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate Issue - ios7

Question

I am currently attempting to make an iPhone app and have stumbled upon a little bump. I keep getting an error when using the NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate and anywhere that I use the NSFetchedResults controller. As I am implementing Core Data in my code, it is essential I get this to work. Any feedback is welcome.
Here is the code:
ClassTableViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "Classes.h"
//#protocol NewClassViewControllerDelegate;
#interface NewClassViewController : UIViewController
//#property (weak, nonatomic) id <NewClassViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *classTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *periodTextField;
#property (strong, nonatomic) Classes *classID;
- (IBAction)saveClass:(id)sender;
#end
ClassTableViewController.m

#import "Classes.h"

Classes *classID = [[self fetchedResultsController] objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
[dvc setClassID:classID];
} else if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"addClass"]) {

[dvc setClassID:[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Classes" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext]];

Thanks for providing some code and asking for any feedback. The header file is confusing for me. I recommend you walk through the tutorial on this site.
Here's a snippet to get you started but walking through the code on the site is your best bet. Afterwards you can come back with specific questions and I will be happy to follow-up. If the tutorial is enough to get you going please feel free to accept this answer.
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController {
if (_fetchedResultsController != nil) {
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription
entityForName:#"FailedBankInfo" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSSortDescriptor *sort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]
initWithKey:#"details.closeDate" ascending:NO];
[fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sort]];
[fetchRequest setFetchBatchSize:20];
NSFetchedResultsController *theFetchedResultsController =
[[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest
managedObjectContext:managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:nil
cacheName:#"Root"];
self.fetchedResultsController = theFetchedResultsController;
_fetchedResultsController.delegate = self;
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
