When reading an Assignment, the page first shows a general introduction and then continues with the questions. When editing a Submission, this introduction disappears. However, the introduction may contain information relevant for the assignment, for example references to relevant papers or general tips on how to approach the question(s). I propose to include the introduction on the Submission page as well.

Of course this information is already accessible at the moment by navigating back to the Assignment page. However, this introduces an additional step, thus interrupting the natural flow of writing an answer. Furthermore, since the Submission and Assignment pages already look much alike, I expect the introduction to be there on the Submission page as well, and it’s jarring when I find it missing.
