I don't want all these notifications in my email
General rule of thumb: If you are getting automatic emails, 99% of the time you can control them on your end. You can "unsubscribe" in the fine print at the bottom of the email or control notifications through settings. Here are some common places you can control notifications.
In Google Docs go to comments > notifications > and choose your preference.
In Google Classroom you can control notifications per class or for all classes. Go to the three bar (I call it the hotdog) > Click settings > and then select your notification preferences.
MyTA notifications:
Login to myTA > Click the arrow by your name > settings > notification > check or uncheck what and how you would like to be notified.
