Yes, you will indeed need at least two terminal windows open. When you start mongod you are starting the database server which, by default, will be listening to port 27017 for connections. When you start mongo you get the shell and can then connect to your server(s).
Great point and observation, if that wasn't covered in the course.
Happy coding,
Ken
