Everyone of us should continue to learn new things.  When a person stops trying to learn they tend to become set in their ways and unwilling to change.  Daily learning is a valuable tool I use.  Youtube is full of useful learning tools. One could start watching an educational video on youtube each day.  There are enough educational videos to teach that person something each day for the rest of his or her life. My point is, never stop learning.

Students only need to be reminded once of upcoming assignments.  I give the students the opportunity to ask questions, and then I remind them of what is due for the next class.  I will also remind them to refer to their syllabus for any due dates.  As an instructor, I work very hard on the syllabus, and review it the first day of class. I also stress the value of the syllabus to the student. I have found that most students can answer their own questions regarding due dates by referring to his/her syllabus. 

I totally agree with your statement.  We also need allow time for the perspective student to make his/her decision.
