For this one you have to go to the site in the teacher''s notes. There you will find

index_col : int, sequence or bool, optional Column to use as the row labels of the DataFrame. If a sequence is given, a MultiIndex is used. If you have a malformed file with delimiters at the end of each line, you might consider index_col=False to force pandas to not use the first column as the index (row names).
