+## BMI 713 - Computing Skills for Biomedical Sciences 
 
-Lessons, scripts and Slides for Day 4 of the [QMB course](https://hms-dbmi.github.io/qmb-2016/) (August 2016).
+### Description
+Many data analysis tools require users to have a basic working knowledge of the command line interface (also referred to as *UNIX, Linux, bash, shell*). They also may require the user to have access to resources (i.e. memory, CPU, storage) that exceed what is typically acessible on a personal computer or laptop.  In this session, participants will:
+
+* Learn basic shell commands for navigating the file system
+* Explore file contents
+* Perform basic operations, such as moving, copying, renaming files/folders
+* Learn how to use HMS-RC's O2 cluster for high-performance computing (HPC) 
+
+### Dataset
