2) Chmod your home directory to 755 by typing "chmod 755 <home directory> " (ex: chmod 755 03) with your home directory being the last 2 digits of your Computer Science login and hit ENTER. (For example, a login of cs1257603, the home directory is 03).
3) Verify that you have changed the permissions on your directory by typing "ls -l |more>" and hit ENTER. Your directory should display 755 permissions.
