-For the assignments, we offer an option to use [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) for developing and testing your implementations. [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) is an online computing platform that allows us to access pre-configured command line environments. Note that, it's not required to use [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) for your assignments; however, it might make life easier with all the required dependencies and development toolkits configured for you.
+For the assignments, we offer an option to use [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) for developing and testing your implementations. Notice that we're not using the main Terminal.com site but a subdomain which has been assigned specifically for this class. [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) is an online computing platform that allows us to access pre-configured command line environments. Note that, it's not required to use [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) for your assignments; however, it might make life easier with all the required dependencies and development toolkits configured for you.
 
 This tutorial lists the necessary steps of working on the assignments using Terminal. First of all, [sign up your own account](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com/signup). Log in [Terminal](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com) with the account that you have just created.
 
-For each assignment, we will provide you a link to a shared terminal snapshot. These snapshots are pre-configured command line environments with the starter code, where you can write your implementations and execute the code. Let's take Assignment #1 as an example:

-The snapshot of Assignment #1 can be found [here](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com/snapshot/49f5a1ea15dc424aec19155b3398784d57c55045435315ce4f8b96b62819ef65). Let's go to this link:
+Here's an example of what a snapshot page looked like for an assignment in 2015:
 
 <div class='fig figcenter fighighlight'>

 </div>
 
-Click the "Start" button on the lower right corner. This will clone the shared snapshot to your own account. Now you should be able to find the terminal (**zyk09021** in my case) under the [My Terminals](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com/terminals) tab.
+Yours will look similar. Click the "Start" button on the lower right corner. This will clone the shared snapshot to your own account. Now you should be able to find the terminal under the [My Terminals](https://www.stanfordterminalcloud.com/terminals) tab.
 
 <div class='fig figcenter fighighlight'>

-You are all set! To work on the assignments, click the link (shown in the red box) to the terminal. It leads you to the development environment (see below).
+Yours will look similar. You are all set! To work on the assignments, click the link to your terminal (shown in the red box in the above image). This link will open up the user interface layer over an AWS machine. It will look something similar to this:

 </div>
 
-We have set up the Jupyter Notebook and other dependencies in the terminal. You can find these notebooks and skeleton codes in the folder **assignment1**. You can access the notebooks by clicking on the "Access Jupyter Here" link at the bottom right when you launch a terminal, or by going to (your-terminal-ID)-8888.stanfordterminalcloud.com. Follow the detailed assignment descriptions to complete and submit your work. For submission, go to [Coursework](https://coursework.stanford.edu/portal/) using the browser in terminal (see below). You should be able to upload your work to Coursework.
+We have set up the Jupyter Notebook and other dependencies in the terminal. Launch a new console window with the small + sign (if you don't already have one), navigate around and look for the assignment folder and code. Launch a Jupyer notebook and work on the assignment. If your're a student enrolled in the class you will submit your assignment through Coursework:

-**Important Note:** the usage of Terminal is charged on an hourly rate based on the instance type. A medium type instance costs $0.124 per hour. You will be granted $3 for free once the account is created. We are happy to sponsor each student roughly $10 extra fund for the assignments. Please contact [Serena Yeung](mailto:[email protected]) for more information about the fund. It is **your responsibility** to keep the charge in mind and to budget it carefully :)
