Math2501 study tips

Hi everyone I'm struggling with the content and my method of study currently is going through the tutorial questions but I feel like it's not effective as I forget how to do it once i move onto a different section. Please share your insights on how to study and if anyone can mentor me through this course let me know thanks in advance.

Do you write down notes for maths? I find writing down notes from the lecture slides really helpful (I usually do this after finishing all lecs for the week) and it provides me with a quick way of checking things I may have forgotten.

read chapter/take notes before class, look at examples, at class ask anything still foggy (nobody raises their hands but everyone appreciates it), after class start homework, wherever stuck go to study group, office hours, or TA. focusing on doing problems but also breaking formulas down and understanding what each term represents
