Frustration to the extreme

I am getting extremely frustrated with the content in this course. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I feel like we're going way too fast in terms of content and I'm getting serious information overload. I am not able to absorb old material before something new is introduced and that's becoming a serious problem for me. I know of at least 2 other students whom I regularly talk to that also feel this way. I don't understand why so much is packed into a 7 week course? It wouldn't be so bad if it was just doing the HW/Labs, but throwing a group project on top just seems silly to me. We don't even know the material and now we have to use it in a project??? Doesn't make sense to me... /endRant
