Did I read that you taught a poetry class?

I was in a creative writing program for one year at University of New Mexico. I mainly did it to get out of my then current job and live in New Mexico. I was a teaching assistant. You know, they just throw you in. Here's 30 freshmen, make them write 8 papers and don't be shy about failing them out. (UNM was open enrollment and F.E. was used to discourage the unwanted.)
Second sememster they gave me a creative writing 101 class. I was a horrible teacher, but I think only one of the 12 or so students actively hated me. My only experience was with writing workshops I attended while getting an English BA. It was a lot more fun than freshmen english though, for everybody concerned.
Anyway, their Final Exam was to watch the Marx Bros' Duck Soup.
