for me 2 things that helped a lot were:
ymmv but these things helped me a lot through both a BSc and MSc, and i even practice these same things now with learning how to draw!
I believe research has confirmed this that by slowing down it allows your brain to engage with the material better and memorize it better.
If reading the entire textbook seems like a daunting task, what I would do is pre-read the chapter you're about to go over.
That will "pregame" your brain to knowing the information that is about to be taught it. So if you combine that with writing down your lecture notes by hand, which is also another mind-body connection learning reinforcement tool, then that will vastly increase your ability to not only understand what is being told to you, but to also cement it into your brain for when you're studying it back over for tests and whatnot.
And also, don't overlook your math. If your teacher assigns math homework even if that doesn't give you grade points, do the math homework.
You've got to build up that nugget of knowledge that you can tap into when you're being tested, and these are tried and proven methods of doing just that.
Yep hand wrote and organize notes with by color pens. Makes happy brain.
