From what I understand now, is :
Your script does a cd to what is given as argument the the command pwd...
the 2 first examples will work not the next ones, why?
Will that be your new assignment?
(clue: Commonly in unix, not giving the path is uderstood as *relative" to current, as you can see why your two last examples will not work. You would now have to write a few tests in your script to see if argument could be a directory in a tree using the command find and hope it is unique if not... I let you choose the way you want to end...

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
