Try to do some of the work for your modules in the breaks before the semester. So for your Semester 1 modules, do some work in the summer. For your Semester 2 modules, do some work over Christmas. This might involve revising any modules that are prerequisites. Alternatively, you can get the textbook/reading and work through that. Things get very busy during the semester, and if you have spent 5/6 weeks learning the content before the course begins, you will significantly reduce your workload.

Always do some work before lectures/tutorials, and don't miss any lectures/tutorials. I know it is hard, especially when things get busy, but it will make those sessions far more useful - things won't just fly over your head.
3.
Ask questions. If there is something you don't get, start writing an email with a question, and explain exactly what you don't understand. I often find the process of writing my question and outlining what I am stuck makes me answer my own question!

I would suggest always completing work for modules you struggle with before modules you find easy/enjoy. Otherwise, you will end up never actually doing the work for the more difficult modules.
