Can't read CSV files after I navigate to where my downloaded files are and I import pandas.

I navigated to the same folder in Jupyter where my downloaded files are stored. Then I'm importing pandas. I must be doing something wrong on my setup. Please help.

Copied from another reply:

"You need to make sure you're starting up your Python environment in the same folder as the data files. When you open Jupyter Notebook, use the ls, cd, cd.., pwd commands to move through your computers directories (files) until you end up wherever you saved the teachers data. When you are there, the read_csv will work."
