I'm taking Modern Physics in the spring semester (starts Jan 10). It's been over 5 years since I took Mechanics and EM. Which topics from these courses should I review in preparation for Modern Physics? I plan to review everything, however this will take me longer than the time available before next semester starts. So which topics should be my priority?

Waves will be important. If your Modern Physics class is anything like mine was this past semester, that's probably the biggest thing.
