[B-Greek] Memorizing Declensions - Mounce

I am unable to reproduce the chart on page 81 of
Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek (2nd Edition). But I
was wondering if this method is how others have
memorized declensions.
Under 1st/2nd declensions, he has 3 columns of masc
fem neut. They look something like:
nom sg S / - / -
gen sg U / S / U
dat sg i / i / i
acc sg N / N / N
To the right of this chart, he gives the 3rd
declensions under columns masc/fem and neut, thus...
nom sg S / -
gen sg OS / OS
dat sg i / i
acc sg A,N / -
My question is whether or not others find such charts
helpful? I have had a tendency to memorize a few
prototypical nouns from each declension, rather than
learning 'endings.' Is there a benefit for learning
endings in this manner?
