Topic names are changing with new releases. The tutorial you point out has some outdated information for new releases like Indigo. For footprint you can check this answer: http://answers.ros.org/question/216152/footprint-in-rviz-issue/?answer=216216#post-id-216216
You may try adding components "by topic" in rviz if it will be easier without thinking about their types.
By the way, your assignment tells about a config file for rviz FirstnameLastnameSlamSim.rviz. If it is properly configured it should be enough just to load it in rviz.

Update:
For visualization of obstacles, we use costmaps. You can subscribe to /move_base/local_costmap/costmap which is a type of nav_msgs/OccupancyGrid . For global costmap it is /move_base/global_costmap/costmap
