You can tailor your settings to receive notifications via email, daily, weekly, etc. If you're not already "watching" the github repository, please do so. You can check the [watcher's list](https://github.com/TeachingDataScience/data-science-course/watchers) to see if you're on it. And if you're not on it, you just need sign in to github, and then to click the watch button from that same page. ![](http://note.io/XQGFnA) ### Assignments #### Assignment Folder * Instructions for each assignment is listed in the [assignments folder](assignments/) #### Submitting Assignments * Linkable assignments, such as gists, can be submitted by posting to [this submission form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TzvQCYruLcTLzfCQBcjhp7INLZWvwErCqTaFCU7LhpE/viewform?usp=send_form).
