What should the Announcements Block contains ??

Just announcement title and due/post date in a plain text ??

or description of post  should also be there??

What exactly it should contain ??

As HW3 says, "The Announcements block shows the announcements and the date of each announcement".

An "announcement" is basically just a piece of text (like the one on the CS422 home page) - there's no "title/description of the post". You might have confused the class announcements you need to implement here with CSNS News/Announcements, which are implemented differently.

I went through the URL you have linked 

"4/29 - Midterm will be from 9:50am to 11:30am on Monday, May 7 in E&T A210."

Here 4/29 is the post date or the instructor will explicitly give a date for the announcements ??

It the date when the announcement is posted. The application should get the date automatically (e.g. using new Date()) instead of asking the instructor to enter it explicitly.
