Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or a specific lesson entry point. Start by reviewing the lesson episodes and their exercises, identify examples that take substantial time to complete, and determine where faded versions would reduce cognitive load. Done means the selected exercises include appropriate faded examples and the lesson remains focused on its stated concept.

Description

Consider creating more faded exercises to reduce cognitive overload. There are a number of exercises that require more time to work through the answers. Faded examples allow learners to focus on what particular concept they are learning in the lesson episode and can help speed up the lesson.
