Alexandra Herrera’s Profile
My Courses
Every City Tech (and CUNY) student takes English 1101 Composition I, which features reading and writing assignments that will help prepare you for college and beyond. Together we will work on communicating effectively, building an argument, adapting your writing for different needs and situations, interpreting, and responding to a text, incorporating, and citing secondary source material. We will learn basic research techniques including library use. We will be reading pieces both for their inherent literary and informational value and as models for our own writing projects. Sharing your own ideas and experiences and adding your voice to our discussions will enrich our class community. We will also dedicate time to strengthening fundamental reading and writing skills. We will focus on enhancing vocabulary and critical reading skills, using step-by-step approaches to writing assignments, improving grammar and punctuation skills, and cultivating positive habits for college success, including note-taking and study skills.
ARCH 1101 Intro to Architecture Spr 2022
Introduction to Architecture provides a foundation for students entering the BArch / BTech program to develop a “visual literacy” on the built environment. By practicing the basic skills of sketching, drafting, and reading about buildings, and with the opportunity to present their understanding to others through written assignments and verbal presentations, students will develop methods of representing and presenting architecture verbally and graphically.
This section of ENG 1101, we will explore and employ multiple writing strategies such as thesis working, drafting, and introducing you all to the world of academic writing. Our class will explore the power of language as a tool of influence over a slew of topics such as culture, politics, and technology. In particular, we will also explore how various genres, such as news articles, memoir, animation, and video are used to target audiences and the many different ways to write in the public sphere.
