I agree with the people who said attend every lecture. You can miss a lot just by missing one lecture. Attend all labs, and take advantage if your instructor offers extra lab hours.
Flash cards were my best friend. I took them everywhere with me and drilled myself often and everywhere, the gym, waiting at the restaurant, etc. Scour the internet for good pictures, and if your teacher will let you, bring a digital camera to lab and take your own flash card pictures. Just the act of making the flash cards will do wonders in helping you retain the information.
I couldn't imagine having to miss any lecture in any of the science classes. It would have thrown me lightyears behind
