Student Testimonials
Excellent class; honestly what many classes should aspire to be like. The course is well–organized, detailed, accurate, and covers lots of information in an easy–to–digest manner.

There aren’t enough good things I can say about Konrad. He is truly a gem.
UC Berkeley Intro to Comparative Politics Spring 2022 Student
Konrad has the perfect combination of intelligence and wit that makes for lively discussion sections. he’s obviously passionate about the subject matter and his ability to breakdown even the most complex questions into logical, organized components was extremely helpful in my prep for exams and the paper. Konrad genuinely cares if we succeed.
UC Berkeley Varieties of Capitalism Fall 2018 Student
Konrad was able to navigate sensitive topics in a holistic manner that is supported by the readings that he supplied to the students.
USF Markets, Institutions, & Platforms Fall 2023 Student
He’s really organized, great at explaining concepts and managing time, really creative engaging activities that are relevant to the course; I also liked how concepts are explained first, then there is small group discussion and exercise
