Hi, why do the course notes only have one chapter?
Moreover, will the course be updated to the new Spring 2025 semester?

what happens at the end of the 7 day free trial, do we get charged automatically or how does this this work?
L
Luc L
InstructorThere is no need to cancel your Wize All-Access Pass subscription after the free trial. Since Wize does not take any credit card information for the free trial, your access will automatically end after the 7-day free trial. You will not be charged unless you decide to subscribe after your trial.

are the practice questions going to be graded?

Luc L
InstructorWize practice questions will tell you whether or not your answer is correct, but this is just to help give you feedback on your understanding.
I recommend that you check your syllabus or ask your instructor about the evaluations involved in your course.
