Thermodynamics is one of the few engineering courses that I would say are more conceptual than computaional. I can not emphasise how important it is to fully understand thermodynamic terminology and process. Once you understand those any problems can be easily worked out.
What I recommend is that you go through you thermodynamics book and read it carefully highlighting the important points and summarizing them in a spare notebook. The first few chapters are full of indroductory concepts such as the state of a system, processes, closed and open systems, etc. That I reccomend you memorize(with understanding ofcourse) as these are carried on all throughout.
As chapters get more complex I recommend flow charts and mind maps with as much condensed information as possible. Below is an example of one I made when I took thermo:
