You got thrown into a class above your skill level. That's bad on the teacher for not telling you really. Once you know the basics the rest is easier to build on top of that, but otherwise it's like trying to tell someone about design patterns while they're still struggling with syntax in programming. If you liked the idea, give it a go with beginners again. You'll get back to that higher level soon anyway.
