Consider creating more faded exercises to reduce cognitive overload

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.

Can you define or give an example of a 'faded exercise'.

This is just an example, but maybe something like:

EXERCISE: How can we create a dictionary of the current crops in the survey?

unique_crops = set()
for farms in d:
plot = ____
for crops in plot:
crop = ____
for curr_crops in crop:
# add current crop to unique crops dict, checking for duplicates
unique_crops.add(____)

print unique_crops dict

print(unique_crops)

Alternatively, the exercise can be missing one line that emphasizes what is being learned in the lesson, so the whole line could be _____ ?
