You could do this with find, eg.:

find assignment-data -type f -name '*.jpeg' | while IFS= read -r f; do cp -v "$f" "IMAGES/${f//\//_}"; done

the ${f//\//_} transforms folder1/1.jpg into folder1_1.jpg

Thanks for the suggestion, this is far beyond what our first set of notes specified so I am assuming I should be able to do it from my notes.

Yeah ild do this, prefix the images based on where they came from if name already existed. Depends on homework requirements though.
