Problem: For learners who are not very comfortable with scientific computing, the process of setting directories and figuring out where to put data is pretty tricky. Since most of us use Mac/Linux, we aren't always aware of how Windows systems interpret paths.
Solution: New tutorial on setting up working directories on each file system. This could be included with pre-workshop install instructions, or used in the first few minutes in the workshop proper.
