First of all - I suggest you drop the table_singular_name_id format for your tables primary key and use the CakePHP expected primary key, which is just named "id" - nothing else! That will make your life easier!
Playing with your tables and relationships: Student hasAndBelongsToMay Course - and vice verse. Course hasMany Assignment - Assignment belongsTo Course. Student hasAndBelongsToMany Assignment - and vice verse. The mark is in the AssignmentStudent model - which is the hasAndBelongsToMany model between Student and Assignment.
