## Submitting assignments

In the initial part of the class, upload your assignment using the web browser
to your own fork of the repository. In other words, if you are named Erika
Mustermann, your fork will be at
https://strawlab-rp2.zoologie.uni-freiburg.de/mustermann/pm21-dragon . (The name
of the repository here is "mustermann/pm21-dragon" and would have been forked
from the original repository "straw/pm21-dragon".) Do not rename (or allow your
computer to rename) the assignment file. If the name has changed, please change
it back to the original name so that the original file is replaced.

Later in the class we will discuss [git](https://git-scm.com) version control
and will go more into depth about what all this is about.

## Getting assignments

The assignment files will be in the `exercises/release/exercise-NUMBER` folder in your repository. For Erika
Mustermann, you could view the files for `exercise-03` at:

https://strawlab-rp2.zoologie.uni-freiburg.de/mustermann/pm21-dragon/src/branch/main/exercises/release/exercise-03

## Correct answers

After the due date of the assignment, a correct version will be posted at in the
directory `exercises/source/exercise-NUMBER`.
