It is important that you utilise the resources provided by this subject, including the lecturer's office hours. If you have difficulties coping with the material covered in class, the weekly assignments etc it is important that you take care of this matter as soon as possible. Don't wait till the end of the semester. Talk to your lecturer. He is a nice guy and will do his best to help you.
Some students are so shy that they do not seek help even when they desparately need it. This is really bad. If you are such a person, try to overcome this bug. You are welcome to bring with you a friend - but please no pets!
If you are really, really shy, contact the student representative.
