Course Description from Catalog: Focus on artisanal textile, apparel, or surface and structural design techniques. Design processes for
specialty fabrics and markets. Topics vary by term.
Prerequisites: AMD 221 Apparel Assembly Processes (or equivalent) AMD 225 Patternmaking I: Drafting and Flat Pattern (or equivalent) AMD 510 Foundation of Scholarship in Textiles and Clothing (or taking concurrently)
Instructional Methods The goal of this course is to provide background and structure for you to study the innovative
patternmaking techniques of Tomoko Nakamichi and apply these techniques in your own way. After
you explore, you will share what you have learned and created, allowing you to hone your teaching
abilities. Furthermore, as a group, we will analyze the body of patternmaking techniques, so as to give a
codified framework to our newly gained body of knowledge. You will also be provided a structure for
documenting your design process. The earnest participation of each student is essential to learning and
progress in this class. The entire learning process will be supported through both formal and informal
teaching, as well as, required and recommended resources (printed or otherwise).
Objectives / Outcomes: Learn innovative patternmaking techniques. Analyze the principles behind innovative patternmaking techniques. Compare, contrast, and organize a framework of Japanese patternmaking techniques. Apply learned techniques to original designs.

Electronic Devices
The instructor must approve all usage of laptops or other similar devices. All cell phones should be
turned off and put away, or the instructor can ask the student to leave the classroom for the rest of the
class period.
Classroom Courtesy
Respect and care for the classroom and studio spaces are expected of each student. You are to leave the
studio in better condition than you found it, so that all students have a positive experience using our
studio and classroom spaces. You are expected to have the necessary materials and supplies for each
meeting. Projects must be worked on in class, but some work will also need to be completed outside of
class. Projects not worked on in class will not be accepted. You are encouraged to watch progress on
projects of other class members and to share learning experience with others.
Research Sites
Students are encouraged to conduct research and keep up-to-date with fashion forecasts and trends
through fashion industry publications and on-line reporting services including WWD and websites such
as www.style.com, www.firstview.com, and www.stylesight.com/edu/. Note that consumer fashion
magazines (such as Vogue, Elle, etc.) are not appropriate fashion forecasting sources, as they present
garments that are already available on the market.
How to Access Stylesight.com. To create or reactivate your account, please first go to 108 or 307
MacKay computer lab and visit the following site: http://www.stylesight.com/edu/. Your username

Dead Week
This class follows the Iowa State University Dead Week policy as noted in section 10.6.4 of the Faculty
Handbook http://www.provost.iastate.edu/resources/faculty-handbook.
Academic Dishonesty
This class will follow Iowa State University’s policy on academic dishonesty. Anyone suspected of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students Office.
http://www.dso.iastate.edu/ja/academic/misconduct.html
Academic dishonesty occurs when a student uses or attempts to use unauthorized information in the
taking of an exam; or submits as his or her own work themes, reports, drawings, laboratory notes, or
other products prepared by another person; or knowingly assists another student in such acts or
plagiarism. Such behavior is abhorrent to the university, and students found responsible for academic
dishonesty face expulsion, suspension, conduct probation, or reprimand. Instances of academic
dishonesty ultimately affect all students and the entire university community by degrading the value of
diplomas when some are obtained dishonestly, and by lowering the grades of students working
honestly.
Examples of specific acts of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to:
Obtaining unauthorized information. Information is obtained dishonestly, for example, by copying
graded homework assignments from another student, by working with another student on a take-home
test or homework when not specifically permitted to do so by the instructor, or by looking at your notes
or other written work during an examination when not specifically permitted to do so.
Tendering of information. Students may not give or sell their work to another person who plans to
submit it as his or her own. This includes giving their work to another student to be copied, giving
Page 7 of 14
U:\AMD\AMD 328X 528X\F14\A M D 528 Sec 3 and XB Design Seminar Fall 2014 Syllabus.docx
someone answers to exam questions during the exam, taking an exam and discussing its contents with
students who will be taking the same exam, or giving or selling a term paper to another student.
Misrepresentation. Students misrepresent their work by handing in the work of someone else. The
following are examples: purchasing a paper from a term paper service; reproducing another person's
paper (even with modifications) and submitting it as their own; having another student do their
computer program or having someone else take their exam.
Bribery. Offering money or any item or service to a faculty member or any other person to gain
academic advantage for yourself or another is dishonest.
Plagiarism. Unacknowledged use of the information, ideas, or phrasing of other writers is an offense
comparable with theft and fraud, and it is so recognized by the copyright and patent laws. Literary
offenses of this kind are known as plagiarism.
Plagiarism occurs when a person does not credit the sources from which they borrow ideas, whether
these ideas are reproduced exactly or summarized. The method of documentation will differ depending
on whether the sources are written, oral, or visual. Ethically, communicators are responsible for
providing accurate, detailed information about their sources. Practically, audiences need this
information to comprehend and evaluate a message's content. The Student Guide: English 150 and 250,
available for purchase at the University Book Store, describes the process of documenting source
materials, as do many other reference guides.
Academic dishonesty is considered to be a violation of the behavior expected of a student in an
academic setting as well as a student conduct violation. A student found responsible for academic
dishonesty or academic misconduct is therefore subject to appropriate academic penalty; to be
determined by the instructor of the course, as well as sanctions under the university Student Disciplinary
Regulations.
Classroom or Grade Problems
If a student has a course related problem, she or he should discuss it with the course instructor first. If
the student is not satisfied, she or he should contact his/her advisor to address the situation. The
advisor will suggest possible course of actions. For more information refer to
http://catalog.iastate.edu/academiclife/#appealofacademicgrievances. If you are experiencing, or have
experienced, a problem with any of the above issues, email [email protected].
Violence Free University
At ISU, violence, threats or implied threats of violence, and intimidation (verbal or physical acts intended
to frighten or coerce) impede the goal of providing a safe environment and will not be tolerated. For
more information, refer to http://www.policy.iastate.edu/policy/violence .
Emergency Response
In an emergency situation, follow emergency response guide at
http://www.ehs.iastate.edu/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/posters/EmergencyP
oster.pdf . For more information, refer to
http://www.policy.iastate.edu/policy/emergencynotification .
