Introduction

Your journey through these computer science experiences will benefit greatly by journaling. Each journal entry will have three parts:

1. The first portion of your journal will have a prescribed format. Here, you'll have the opportunity to ponder about phenomena that you've observed and answer some questions.
2. The second part of your journal entry will address some open-ended prompts that will be the same for each experience.
3. The final portion is your opportunity to further explore the experience on your own.

Observe, Ponder, and Journal: : Section 2

1. It appears that both Jack Williams and John Williams can have a directory of the same name. Do you think the ability to have two different users create a directory of the same name is important? Why?
