The current description is just a text string with no markup, structure etc. So it's hard to imagine it would be common for it to take up lots of space. Description is pithy. Set header file has details, can have tables, graphs, links, etc. |

I also think the description would be good to show here. I don't remember the pull request where @somiaj added it, and I asked him to remove it. I probably just meant to do that in a separate pull request to separate it from other things don't in that pull request. I don't want the set header shown in problems, but would be okay with it if it were configurable to have it shown or not. I don't need special instructions for students to work sets, and would rather have the real estate for the problem itself. |

Yea, the comment was I was doing a lot of other changes and to not included the change with the current PR I was working on. Since then I just added the set description to my set headers, so my use case was satisfied, and didn't make another pull request. |

Currently if a set description exists for a homework set, the only place it is shown is if a student mouses over the set name on the Problem Sets page. There is also no visual cue to indicate that the description exists.
What about putting this description directly into the Problem Sets page? The downside I see is that this has the potential to take up a lot of screen real estate if the description is long. Perhaps having it in a collapsible that is collapsed by default, or at least having some indication that mousing over will give more information?
I also think it makes sense to show the description on the Set Detail page.
Having said all of this, I'm not sure what the difference in purpose is between the set description and the set header file. The description is easier to type since it's right there, whereas the header file requires editing and saving a file, but gives the instructor the ability to use some variable substitutions.
