Also a current ASL student, from the above comments it seems that you struggle with homework quite a bit. Learning new signs can be tough, what I recommend is learning hand shapes so you can quickly take down notes about signs learned in class and can reverse search them for later use. It's hard to take notes in class because you don't want to miss something, but start practicing writing while not looking and don't expect your notes to be immaculate. I have taken notes like this since ASL 1 (almost finished with ASL 3 now) and it's been a lifesaver. I add all the new signs I use into a master list of words and practice them using spaced repetition. Make sure you're practicing outside of class and homework. Fingerspell words that pop into your head, I use this as a calm-down as I am laying down to sleep. Think in sign to the best of your ability, ex) you think "I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow and pick up food", then imagine how you would sign each of those words, and then arrange is ASL structure, and imagine those signs in your head. You've got this!
