I'm so glad I took developmental biology in college. We just started a series of embryology lectures that are included in our anatomy course. I don't remember much detail (since it was two years ago), and we didn't focus on the embryology of all the systems as much, but at least knowing what all the words mean is helpful.
It's too early in the year to really be able to say what the best way to study is for me, but I can say that being familiar with the vocabulary is a huge help. Just reading through the PowerPoint the night before and making a mental note of any big words I've never seen before. Then when the lecturer blows through that part of the lecture at 350 miles an hour, at least I have a vague idea of how to spell some of the words he's using.
The other day I forgot the word "faucet" in the middle of a conversation. That's because words like "splanchnic" and "mediastinum" have replaced words like "faucet" in my limited mental vocabulary space.
