My first mistake when attempting to create my directory on SVN was when I sat down and decided to do it. I assumed I had to ssh in, and after I started typing in the command, realized I wasn't provided a port and that I was an idiot.
After typing "svn" into my terminal, it took very little time to install. I had looked up the command to actually create the directory earlier, mkdir, and recalled it was similar to how other file systems on Linux work.
Unfortunately, after a quick perusal of the staple SVN commands, I thought that the "checkout" command would give me what "ls" would normally - this turned out to be wrong. Luckily enough though, it did allow me to login to the server so that I needn't be bothered when running other commands, so it wasn't a complete waste - and it did show me that someone else had beat me to the punch.
I quickly found the command I was looking for, the list command, with the reasoning that even if I make the directory I was looking for, I would need to verify it's existence in an easy way. Besides, I was curious to see how many other people had completed the assignment as well, just in case checkout was reporting oddly.
Unfortunately while using mkdir, in my confusion, I may not have properly logged my actions when prompted - however, upon using the list command, found that I was indeed successful.
