Individual differences D$.$ An instructor shows trainees how to operate a cement mixer before letting them practice on a cement$-$mixing simulator.

Active practice and repetition E$.$ An instructor uses an online learning system that instantly marks student answers as right or wrong and provides an explanation for each question.

Whole$-$versus$-$part learning F$.$ An instructor gives students daily homework assignments and weekly tests instead of having one large test at the end of the course.

Distributed learning G$.$ An instructor requires students to do the same task over and over again until they can do it perfectly.

Feedback and reinforcement H$.$Today$$s lesson will cover work safety. You can learn about our work safety standards in three ways: by watching as I demonstrate safe practices, by listening to my lectures on your MP$3$ player, or by reading the lecture notes.
