explicit names rather than acronyms #9

To help ease navigation (mostly for students, but probably for ourselves too :) ), I suggest we favor spelling out names over using acronyms for directories of notebooks, e.g.

dcip --> dcip (I feel like spelling this out is overkill?)
em --> electromagnetics
gpr --> ground_penetrating_radar
mag --> magnetics

thoughts?

Acronyms are more convenient in programming?

@yangdikun: have you seen the Zen of Python? 😉
