Having trouble in my Physical Anthro class how can I better prep for the exams?

Question

I'm having trouble in my Physical Anthropology class. I am taking the class online, so there is no teacher lecturing the info. I basically have to read 3 chapters in two weeks and soak up the info as best as I can.

This subject is proving to be very difficult for me. The first test I got a D, the second C/B. On the second exam I made flash cards and studied them and read all the chapters I was supposed to read(although I will admit skiming through the last chapter).
The flash cards seem to help a little, though.

What are good ways to prepare myself for this class? Hard sciences are NOT my strongest subjects. How can I study better? I'm willing to do hard work, but it's frustrating when I do put in work and it doesn't really effect my grade.

Help!

To stay on the top, you have to be on the top. Makesure you have all you should know, and more. The web is a wealth of knowledge. Use you rimagination, as you do web searches. Make use of breaks, and clear your mind-get adequate rest the night before, and drill yourself.
