Cut Coverage to Save Practice
Choose what to remove when time threatens the learning loop.
Drop the third example and run one practice attempt: Right. Application with feedback is the scarce learning event; a third demonstration is less valuable if no one tries.

Novices often do not know what they cannot do yet; it produces little evidence. Assign the practice as optional homework: Weaker. Optional delayed practice loses guidance and feedback exactly when learners need it.
