Social Psychology & Comics

Students in psychology courses are often required to complete several writing assignments. In a Psychology 101 course at John Jay, students were assigned 500 word (2 page) reflections papers – short, low stakes essays that demonstrate understanding of the psychological concepts covered in class. The reflection paper assignment below uses comics to engage students and task them with pairing comics with social psych concepts.
