I suggest that you take a look at what you know about Riemann integration. Look in your calculus books or at the beginning of https://measure.axler.net/SupplementMIRA.pdf
Also read the Preface for Students in the book and I will read the the Preface for Instructors.

WeekTopicNotes
34Suppment
Section A: Parts without proofs
Section C: Parts, only for \(\mathbb{R}\)
Section D: Most of this is supposed to be known for R. (0.59 may be taken later).
Section E: Some of this is should be known for R. (0.77–0.79 may be taken later).
Textbook Ch 1: Mostly without proofs
Ch 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.10, and 2.12 (Heine–Borel)
35Ch 2: 2.1–2.25, 2.27
36Ch 2 B, C: 2.26–2.66, 2.68Skipped (covered in week 37) 2.31–2.53.
2.66 and 2.68 could bear repetition – I was a bit rushed at the end.
My proofs (especially for 2.62) were a bit different from those in the book.
This little note has the details.
37 Wed: Covered p. 29-37 (inverse images and measurable functions.)
Thu: Cantor set and Cantor function, and then Sec. 2E, ending with 2.85 (Egoroff's theorem).
Egoroff's theorem is summarized in Littlewood's third principle: Pointwise convergence is almost uniform convergence.
38Wed: 2.88–2.93 (Luzin's theorem).
Thu: 2.94–2.95 (Lebesgue measurable functions), then on to Ch 3A (integration) ending with 3.11 (Monotone Convergence Theorem, MCT)
I have my own take on the initial part of Ch 3.
Here is a short note explaining it.
39Wed: Backtracked a little, starting with 3.9 and repeated the basic idea of the MCT. Continued up to 3.25 (also included 3.27)
Thu: The big limit theorems, starting with 3.26 (BCT), also conditions for Riemann integrability, ending with 3.39. Plus 3.40 and a a preview of what's up next.
40Wed: Finished Ch 3, then Ch 4.A to 4.4 (Vitali covering lemma)
Thu: Finished Ch 4.
My version of the proof of the Lebesgue differentiation theorem:
It is essentially the same proof as in the book, but organized to have fewer moving parts.
41Wed: Ch. 5, pp. 116-123. Thu: pp. 123-130.
42Wed (Harald): pp. 131–139, note ➔
Thu (Helge): Ch. 5: pp. 140-143. (only proved the equality of mixed derivatives.) Ch. 7: pp. 193-197.
Here is a note on uniqueness that I used.
43 Wed: Ch. 7, pp. 198-204. We stopped in the middle of the proof of Thm. 7.20.
Thu: The regular lecture was replaced by the 2024 Lars Onsager Lecture, presented by Sir Martin Hairer, who received the Fields Medal in 2014. Lecture title: Taming Infinities
44 Wed: Ch. 7, pp. 204-205. Ch. 12, pp. 380-384. Thu: Ch. 12, pp. 385-389.
45Wed: Ch. 12, pp. 390-393. Thu: Ch. 12, pp. 393-397.
46 Wed: Ch. 9, pp. 268–272. Thu: Ch. 9, pp. 273–276.
47 Wed: Ch. 9, pp. 276-277 and 256-259. Thu: Exam TMA4225 from 2023, except Problem 2 and 5c. Exam 2023 ("I_A" means the characteristic function or indicator function of the set "A")
