directory structure needs improvement

Currently we use the following directory structure to store a student's assignment submissions (e.g., see the attached picture):

/student-number/assignment-title/assignment-submission.zip


This structure is fine if the student takes only one course. But if he took multiple courses that have the same assignment-title, then there is a potential conflict.

To avoid this, we could either use

/student-number/course-code/assignment-title_assignement-id/assignment-submission.zip


or use

/student-number/course-code/semester/assignment-submission.zip

Which one is better?
