Ryan - welcome to the forum! No, you do not have to memorize the book. But, if you could, that would be pretty impressive! It would probably also give your instructor the heebie jeebies... Don't know what part of Texas you are in, or where you are planning to take your class, but I can tell you what I do.

I use a PowerPoint presentation with handouts. I tell the students right up front, everything that is on the test is highlighted in red on the slides. You should make a note on your handout of everything that is highlighted in red. And, if it is on the test, I will say it at least 3 times. So, they see it, they hear it, and they write it down.

No one (with a fairly good grasp of the English language) has ever failed the written test in my classes. Don't get too worried about it. Enjoy your class, and don't be afraid to ask questions. You will do just fine!
