Database design

Hi,

I am relatively new to database design and have only made some
relatively simple CakePHP apps, but am currently working on a new
project with some slightly more complicated database relationships.

--Students----------------
student_id
student_name (I want to leave this as a single item)
year

--Courses----------------
course_id
name
shortname
type

--Assignment----------------
assignment_id
type
value
description

--Marks----------------
mark_id
result

The idea is that each *student* takes x *courses* and each *course*
has y *assignments*, so each *student* has a *mark* for an
*assignment* of a *course*. Is this the easiest way of doing this?

Also, what does this mean for HABTM/has many relationships?

Thanks

Jack
