You will find yourself at a Unix shell prompt. Hopefully (if you met the pre-requisites of this course) you will now be able to see that your account has a subdirectory called exercises/ which are the example scripts and exercises given in these course notes. If you're not quite up to speed with Unix, there's a cheat-sheet in Appendix A of these notes.
