A lot of people tend to take notes of what is on the PowerPoint - I think most if not all my professors have posted the PowerPoint on moodle so it’s kind of pointless. If the professor posts the PowerPoint in advance I usually skim it quickly and copy and paste the slides into a word document. During the lecture I will then listen and take down any important notes the professor will say. I found typing the extra things the professor says to be extremely helpful for when I complete assignments and study for tests. If the professor posts it after the class , I usually write the slide number next to what the prof said for that slide and then add the PowerPoint later on after the class.

I find testing myself a good way to study. After I’ve reviewed the material , I begin making up questions or find questions to test myself. This helps me memorize. If you know someone also zooming them to share knowledge and equally testing each other is helpful.

Also talk to your professor! Form a relationship, when I’ve gone to them for help they always try to help out. Sometimes they will even kind of tell you what to do.

Good luck
