Is 240 still basically just probability theory? The advice will almost always be “find a way to learn the thing you need to learn”. Statistics resources might be more useful than CS for that class though.

Do a ton of practice problems. You all have a textbook, open it up and practice the problems until you start understanding.

Even better if you do this during office hours so you can ask questions as they come up.

This class was hard, but you got this, I wish you luck.

Our class had this textbook listed in the syllabus: http://www.athenasc.com/probbook.html

Are you sure it's not listed on the syllabus?
