Description

It is helpful to make sure the most important information about the genre, purpose, topic(s), and length of the paper are very easy to find. You could think of this as the "executive summary" of the assignment.

It may also highlight the challenges students typically have with the assignment and offer guidance for avoiding those challenges. It should remind students about resources or models faculty have provided that will help them succeed.
