Capstone: Advanced Research Projects in Applied Research

 Student comments

“The class had an appropriate balance of intellectual inquiry mixed in with how it applies to the real world of policymaking. I really feel it enhanced my understanding of the policy world in a holistic way […] Professor Hur is one of the top 3 professors I have learned from at Wagner, and she always went out of her way to make sure we were grasping course materials and conceptually on track with our assignments.” - Policy Formation

"This was one of my favorite classes so far. […] Reading empirical studies and then getting together to discuss them and relate them to current events was brilliant and enriching. I learned so much and am constantly citing these studies in my day to day conversations now.” - Policy Formation

“The strength was Aram’s concise and clear leading of the class, with a format that encouraged and required our participation (!). Because of this, I felt that me and my classmates were able to teach of our experiences and opinions to each other.”  - Political Participation & Policy

“This class was intellectually stimulating and very well-organized. The readings were interesting and manageable. I liked the focus on full-class discussions, with some breakout into groups for the case studies. Professor Hur clearly prepared well for the class, was deeply familiar with the readings, and facilitated class discussion extremely well.” - Political Participation & Policy

“I appreciated the parts of the class when we were able to apply the theories to real-life case studies. A lot of the theories and readings we studied were very dense and did not make any sense to me until applied to case studies.”  - Political Participation & Policy
