What is the best way to learn signal transduction pathways for undergrad bio/biochem classes? Just rewriting them over and over until you memorize them? Thank you

I take a whiteboard/marker and map out the entire pathway with regulation from memory. i then compare it with the actual pathway, and repeat it several times until i got the pathway down

I try to figure out which piece does what one at a time. Once you memorize the purpose of every step it makes it a little easier to go back and then brute force memorize an entire pathway. It's easier for me to go like "Okay I need to do B....so A needs to happen first...okay X does A and Y does B there we go" then just memorize X--->Y--->Z etc

^^^ That's what I did. My study partner and I did this repeatedly; for the final we even wrote the pathways in reverse once or twice so that we verify that we understood the mechanism being done, not just remembering intermediate and reaction names. We literally knew that stuff forwards and backwards.
