Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The random tactic of role orientation allows the apprentice to select the order in which they learn to make different types of furniture, which is the situation described in the question. The sequential tactic would require the apprentice to learn in a specific order predetermined by the more experienced workers. The fixed tactic would assign the apprentice to a specific type of furniture and not allow for flexibility in learning. The variable tactic would provide some choice but with more guidance and structure from the experienced workers.
