This is a glimpse of how I make myself learn stuff. First I just say something inside my head and visualize the letters. Or I force myself to visualize a concept. Like when studying for genetics, primase creates DNA primers, so I just visualize two blobs that are "primers". Now I have some kind of visual image or emotion associated with "primase", see what I mean? So I can see the word "primase" and I'll instantly visualize those two blobs upon which the DNA strand will be built. This is a very basic example, but maybe try creating mental images to associate with everything. Try finding patterns too. For example, I really like what my genetics prof told us to remember which is that thymine, cytosine and uracyl (uracil is intentionally misspelled) are pyrimidines. The trick to remember this is that they all have a "y" in them. It's really a very simple "pattern" if you will. So try that, try looking for patterns to remember stuff as well.
