Colleges are no different at the undergraduate level in many, if not most, courses. Identify what the professor wants to see or hear, repeat it back. Lab work is probably the biggest exception, in that you tend to need to apply some practical knowledge, but even then I found TAs were very willing to hold your hand through it if you at least demonstrated you had reviewed and memorized any prep materials.
