Abstract
In this comic, the student shares a story of a student mom trying to balance her life during the Covid -19 crisis. In Dean Scheibel's Communication Studies course, students were instructed to create comics using photographs, drawings, or a computer program called Comic Life 3.
The idea of reflection is important in education. These comics could be viewed as a response to reflective learning (or metacognition). Through reflection on what we do, we learn more deeply about our everyday experiences of life, death, love, God, and even literature reviews. Although “comix” have been the objects of critique by academics, these comics subject the work of the academy—the faculty member as teacher—to critique. Research is a process, and by having students reflect on the fears, errors, or mistakes made during that process they will experience new insights and discoveries.
