I'm not sure if it's the same kind of course, but I looved lab, and hated lecture. I can't memorize families, the cycle of the virus and bacteria, mRNA, tRNA, amino acids in order..

I was interested in solving the puzzle, finding out with bacteria using fire(bunsen burner!) and ice. I still remember Mucopolyssacharides and cryptoviridae tho.

Stay ahead, just skim and familiarize yourself with all these new words and images. Talking to classmates and sharing notes wouldn't hurt
