The question:

Publications
This view has two levels. The first level will list all members who have associated
Journal or Conference Paper records. The second level lists the titles of the papers for
a selected member; the entries in this view are links to the actual papers.

And all I can find from my professor's notes:

Oh course I'm not asking for you to do it for me, but what does it mean by different levels for a view? And how do you do that?

Your question is lacking some information that could make it easier to understand exactly what you are trying to do and how things are perhaps set up so far. So I am making some guesses here.

I assume your members are drupal users. I further assume the Journal or Conference Paper records are a single content type with a CCK User Reference to the member that submitted the paper.

Now you can create a Node View. Configure Filters to filter for a content type of Journal or Conference Paper. Under Fields you probably want to add a field (or fields) that specifies the specific paper (journal, volume, pages, etc.), and turn on linking to the node to get a link that gets you to the paper. Under Relationship, add a relationship for the user reference. Now, under Fields, the fields for the user have become available. Select the user name, or real name, or whatever you have of the member. You want to check the option "Exclude from display", otherwise the name of the member will be shown on the first and second level. Finally, under Basic Settings, Style, configure the style by clicking the gear icon and under Grouping Field select the user name/ real name of the member.

Now you should get a listing of the members, with under each member the papers of the member with a link to the node of the paper.
