[Assignments] Date should always be visible on assignments to students

Came across this oddity today. I'm participating in a course for teaching online, and I went to do one of the assignments. It's due today, but the due date just says: "Due Sunday by 11:59pm". Which Sunday? If you're going to simplify the date, it should say Due Today by 11:59pm. This could be misinterpreted as next Sunday, because nobody talks like that.

"When are you coming over?"

"Sunday at 3:00pm"

Looks at watch

"I thought you were coming over today?"

"Yeah, today is Sunday. Why are you confused?"
