I'm gonna back you up here, though from a slightly different perspective. People like you are exactly why this course seems easy for some other people. As what is essentially an introductory course for this subject, it should not be aiming to really challenge the top quartile of the class (or whatever). It should aim to provide the best possible foundation for the next course for as many people as reasonable.
The fact that the course has managed to reach out to all sorts of people (including someone like you) is something that should be celebrated. That it was designed so that someone who isn't 'good at math' (whatever that means) struggled a bit, but still got through it all is amazing. That's something that really makes a great introductory course.
After all, it's stupid easy to make a course hard, or to assign shit loads of work. The real trick is making it just hard enough.
