I believe the answer to this question is “Yes”. This tutorial is intended to teach the real-world problem of touching up a photo where a 5 O’ Clock shadow is not wanted. I do think the problem identified is a bit specific though. This approach could be used to remove any unwanted pattern or color that is different from the content around it.
 * Does the course you selected in Module 1 involve problem solving? **

This was tough! Here is my best shot at it... 
 * Can you identify the content elements of the problem? **

This tutorial provides everything as Show-C and Show-S. Or in other words, this tutorial solely presents itself as a procedural attempt to teach one outcome. So every step shows what the author did and the conditions they set to reach that consequence. Very little if anything is explained about the conditions, sequences, or steps except occasionally as they relate to this specific problem.
 * Try to identify the prescribed instructional events required by the problem you selected. **

I would suggestion the following problem progression:
 *  Can you identify a progression of problems for the problem included in the course or for the problem you suggested for the course? **
 * 1) 1 male with a 5 o’clock shadow
 * 2) 2 men of different skin color with 5 o’clock shadows
 * 3) 2 men of different skin color with 5 o’clock shadows and salt and pepper hair

All of the tools necessary to accomplish these tasks are taught in the first problem, but the student may not realize it at first blush.

Actually all the component skills required for the problem progression listed above are the same. The real difference would be in the properties, and if the learner can identify how these properties modify the consequences appropriately. For instance, in the 3rd problem the solution would be to create two separate patterns and 2 separate layers for smoothing out the stubble, and 2 more patterns and layers for removing the white hairs from the hair. This would require that the problem not be defined as “5 o’clock shadow removal” and something more generically appropriate like “removing 5 o’clock shadow and other unwanted patterns from photos”. There may be a better way to say that though!
