Jump from one point to another; forget

Hi,

1) What else can I say when a teacher jumps from one point to another too quickly without fully explaining them?

Maybe 'bursting through the points'. Does anything else come to mind?

2) Do these two make sense?

"It's been a year since I took a course in accounting, so most of the stuff I'd learned escaped my memory."

"It's been a year since I took a course in accounting, and since I don't really use what I learnt there, I dismissed most it from my mind."

I know that I can say it differently, but I'm curious about these two examples.

Thank you.

You could say they go too fast for that they are too quick.

They do but they're not the most obvious way to put it. It would be simpler to say so I forgot most of it.
