I do not understand what "get the material" below actually mean? What material?

Students also use e-mail to criticize one another, Professor Ahdieh said. He paraphrased this comment: "You're spending too much time with my moron classmates and you ought to be focusing on those of us who are getting the material."

Unfortunately, no. Rather like me in calculus class; I had the text, but not a clue as to what was being taught. Just filling a seat!
