I feel obligated to let you know much I value the course I'm taking. Beth Cooper is phenomenal and always has time to answer my questions no matter how seemingly small. My writing has improved ten-fold and I am now considering taking the magazine writing course when I'm finished with Hard News. Kate Turner, Hard News Journalism, August 2007
