There wasn't a place to input the class, but I took World Arts and Cultures 22, Intro to American Folklore. I didn't know what to expect from this class, in terms of difficulty or subject matter, but I came away from it with a whole new perspective on the world. Professor Cosentino may seem tough, but he is very passionate about the material he teaches. He is interested in what students have to say and clearly has a vast knowledge of the class' subject area. The projects are fun (though occasionally tedious) and not graded by Cosentino, so the toughness of grading depends on your TA. He does grade the tests however. If you pay attention and do all of your readings you are bound to do well; you may find yourself thinking and talking about the subject matter outside of the classroom. Cosentino has high expectations overall, but if you put in a good deal of work you will find the lectures, discussion, and whole class highly rewarding.

Professor Donald J. Cosentino probably has changed his views since he taught that class because he was very anti-government at such time. Now, he is a promoter of President Barach Obama and a fan of same-sex marriage. For all we know, he might be in Africa, attempting to convince tribes about sending Islamic orphan children to the United States so American same-sex couples will be able to adopt and become legal parents.

If Dr. Cosentino were to take a trinitary approach to folklore, he'd be a celebrity because actions speak louder than words. If he were to take folk songs out to Chicago's South Side streets and sing to heal crime as a reminder of the 1960s Peace Movement, he'd become of Teacher in Action, a true, trinitary man of honor. When and if he ever does take Folk Music to Chicago streets, I'll be waiting in the wings where I've been for many years, quietly writing while sitting alongside Saint Peter's chorus of long-silenced hospice workers. Timing is funny, isn't it? Timing sure is a funny thing. I'll keep an ear open.
