Questions about skill levelling

hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone would know about how various skills level. vaguely, we know that "skills level as you use them" but what does this mean specifically? In oblivion it was rather stupidly based solely on the frequency of the action, so someone using a knife would level up far faster than someone with a greatsword, because they took more hits to kill things.

 

Has anything changed?

 

if the uesp wiki is anything to go by, yes. Advice for training alteration skill:

With both hands, continually cast the highest level Alteration armor spell for which you have the skill and perk to cast at half cost (of Oak Flesh, Stone Flesh, Iron Flesh, or Ebony Flesh) until your magicka is depleted. Casting the higher-level spells progresses the skill faster (Oak < Stone < Iron < Ebony)

This advice would seem to indicate that alteration levels based on which spells you cast, not just the number of them.

but how about others? Does anyone know about the following skills:

Light/heavy armor: are they based on the amount of damage you take, or only on the number of hits? also is the rate of levelling affected by how many pieces of the appropriate type you're wearing?

1handed/2handed/archery: do these level up purely on number of attacks? or total damage dealt ?

alchemy: is it a flat rate per potion? or do various ingredients give more or less xp when used?

any knowledge of a similar nature, please do share!
