[Using Sakai] Drop Box in Sakai - how to adding instructions

[Fawei Geng]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply.

For the Assignment tool, teacher can put instructions in the "Assignment 
Instructions" box. When a student undertakes an assignment, s/he will be 
able to read the instructions before starting the assignment. I  was 
thinking how to allow a student to be able to see the instructions put 
by an instructor (or teacher) when using the Drop Box.   As a teacher, I 
put instructions using the "Description" box which I hope will be seen 
by a student. However, when I logged in as a student, I could not see 
the instructions I put in.

Thanks again.
