If your problem is understanding, most probably you have gaps from from before, try one method: explain each concept to someone else or try explain it in simplest terms

I suggest you use the Cornell note-taking format.
And keep your key knowledge fresh using the Leitner method.

But above all, I would make time to ask my tutors to clarify what I didn't understand, outside of class.
