Registration is required, you can do it here: https://tinyurl.com/2v4j9yam

Why is it so exciting? For this course you'll need to complete two essay modules (M11 and M14) and we heard many of you have no experience writing multiple pages in English as it might not be the language your most familiar with. No problem! While using Upcopy.ai is NOT obligatory to pass the modules, it can certainly help you a lot and faciliate the progress. It can point out mistakes you've made and even offer solutions that will make your essay or any text you wrote in English more polished. You can also learn from this, recognizing what errors you've made and how to improve on them. Hopefully you'll feel less stressed because of grammatical difficulties or other language challenges and rather you can focus more on the fun part: all the interesting things you want to tell us about the games you've selected!
