    Vol. 15 | No. 3 | Spring 2007 Lessons from the Other Side— What I Learned About Teaching Legal Writing by Teaching Professional Responsibility By Allison Martin Allison Martin is Clinical Associate Professor of Law at Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis. It’s great to be a student again—the preparation for class, the butterflies if you get asked a question, the intellectual exchange of ideas—but, wait, I am the teacher! And I am not teaching one of my comfortable legal writing courses; I am teaching professional responsibility. Although being a student again and teaching a “casebook” course are two perspectives of legal education different from mine as a legal writing professor, I learned much about teaching legal writing from both. To teach professional responsibility for the first provide quality care to patients, law professors time, I had to become a student again—relearning should become students occasionally to remind old rules and studying new ones.

  • Machine Learning (Ml) for Tracking the Geo-Temporality of a Trend: Documenting the Frequency of the Baseball-Trucker Hat on Social Media and the Runway
    MACHINE LEARNING (ML) FOR TRACKING THE GEO-TEMPORALITY OF A TREND: DOCUMENTING THE FREQUENCY OF THE BASEBALL-TRUCKER HAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE RUNWAY A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Rachel Rose Getman May 2019 © 2019 Rachel Rose Getman ABSTRACT This study applied fine-grained Machine Learning (ML) to document the frequency of baseball-trucker hats on social media with images populated from the Matzen et al. (2017) StreetStyle-27k Instagram dataset (2013-2016) and as produced in runway shows for the luxury market with images populated from the Vogue Runway database (2000-2018). The results show a low frequency of baseball-trucker hats on social media from 2013-2016 with little annual fluctuation. The Vogue Runway plots showed that baseball-hats appeared on the runway before 2008 with a slow but steady annual increase from 2008 through 2018 with a spike in 2016 to 2017. The trend is discussed within the context of social, cultural, and economic factors. Although ML requires refinement, its use as a tool to document and analyze increasingly complex trends is promising for scholars. The study shows one implementation of high-level concept recognition to map the geo-temporality of a fashion trend. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Rachel R. Getman holds a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Her interests lie in the intersection of arts and sciences through interdisciplinary collaboration. The diversification of her professional experience from the service industry, education, wardrobe styling, apparel production, commercial vocals, and organic agriculture influence her advocacy for holistic thinking and non-linear problem solving.

  • Project Runnway
    PROJECT RUNNWAY Project Runway is an American reality television series that focuses on fashion design. The contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and. Stalwarts like Top Chef offered even tighter, more fiery conditions for contestants to crack under, while upstarts like Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, and other design-related competitors like Design Star and Fashion Star, helped crowd the field. Designer Keith Michael became the first designer to be asked to leave the show for multiple rule violations. For the first time in Project Runway history, only three contestants showed their collections at New York Fashion Week. However, unlike the previous season, the last challenge does not have a bearing on this decision and any of the four remaining designers could be eliminated before fashion week. Further information: Project Runway season 7 The seventh season premiered on January 14, , featuring 16 designers. Michelle Lesniak Franklin won the competition with her model Lisa Jackson. His success would have served as temporary inspiration for the contestants, even as it eludes most winners of the show. Obviously, no one wanted Weinstein to profit further from the series or possibly use it to wield undue influence. He was found to be in possession of prohibited pattern-making books and left the production site for several hours, during which time he used the internet. Kenley was praised for her well-tailored designs, but was eliminated first because some of her designs were reminiscent of other professional designers' collections. Because for much of , the design competition series looked like it would go the way of low-rise jeans, which have faded in popularity and may they never come back since , the year that Project Runway debuted.
