I had Darrell for a creative writing class the last year before he took off for Ohio (he was worried he was going to get tossed out of school himself, but then again, he was a bit of a paranoiac). Everything I know about writing I learned from that class -- heck, everything I know about putting together PowerPoint presentations I learned from that class. He was a brilliant creative writing instructor. Not sure how he'd be with deconstruction. Also not sure what "deconstruction" is (we didn't have that in the foreign language wing of the JKHB).
Actually, I learned a lot from the Personal Essay class I had with Tom & Louise Plummer, too, although they were less demanding and less dogmatic than Darrell.
Good luck avoiding Jack Weyland.
