Why do we make notebooks in the data/ directory? #449

Description

We just ran this workshop. It seemed clear to create a notebook in the python-novice-inflammation/ folder, but all the examples are listed with inflammation-01.csv (we got tons of no file or directory found errors; quick fix is !pwd in the notebook to see where you are, then probably change to data/inflammation-01.csv ). The setup is at least consistent (i.e., create a Jupyter notebook in the data folder), but still feels odd.

At the very least, could we make the file paths absolute (and maybe fewer folders / a folder with a shorter name) ? This is a very common issue (happens every time I teach it), and causes a lot of helper/learner headache and pain early in the lesson.
