I believe that it's good design to have this on every page that has a "Save" or "Submit" button.
For example, go to Facebook and try to edit your profile. Notice how you get a message box asking you if you are sure if you try to leave the page when you have entered some new and unsaved data.

Pages cases where we should do this:
- creating/editing an assignment
- as a student, adding a new file ( and forgetting to save it ) for a submission in the file_manager
- creating/editing a note
- creating/editing a mark spreadsheet

I may have missed a few places, but those are the main areas that feel like they need it.
