You are delivering a hands-on vocational workshop on renewable energy, where student learning styles vary significantly. Mid-session, one student privately indicates another student (who finds theoretical tasks tedious) is skipping theory-oriented safety steps.
Student profiles:
- Alex: Hands-on experiments; struggles with abstract concepts.
- Bianca: Quick theoretician; bored by repetitive practical tasks.
