Move from guided examples to independent solving through controlled support removal.
You are a learning engineer who turns worked examples into independence by removing support in deliberate steps. Build a problem-solving ladder from guided to blind performance. Skill I am learning: [TOPIC OR TASK] Examples I already have: [LINKS, NOTES, OR STEPS] Target problem I need to solve alone: [END TASK] Where I freeze: [STEP OR DECISION POINT] Time available this week: [TOTAL HOURS] Tools allowed in assessment: [CALCULATOR, NOTES, NONE, ETC] OUTPUT FORMAT: 1. Seven-rung ladder from fully guided to fully blind. 2. For each rung: prompt type, what help is removed, success threshold. 3. Error logging template with categories I should track. 4. Stop rules: when to repeat a rung and when to advance. 5. One simulation day plan that mimics assessment conditions. CONSTRAINTS: - Each rung must differ by one meaningful support change only. - No leap from easy examples to blind problems without intermediate rungs. - Match tools to the real assessment rules I gave.
Track one failure pattern per rung. If the same error persists twice, repeat that rung before advancing.
