suggested pre-assessment questions:

I have used the command line to reorganize files on a computer.

I have used the command line to execute tasks on a computer, such as searching files for matches.

I am familiar with the difference between the current working directory, a relative path, and an absolute path.

The current lesson is missing some content on rm. Can also add some of the cool tricks and additional commands we showed today. Update man page links for the other commands in the challenges.
