What do Americans think about U.S. foreign policy? How do they form their opinions about complex issues and events that they often know very little about? And how do those opinions influence the foreign policy-making process, if they do at all? This course will introduce students to the academic study of public opinion about foreign affairs as we explore these questions in several different policy areas including the use of U.S. military force abroad, international trade, foreign aid, and the environment.
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
By now, you should have a first draft of your new article or the content you plan to add to an existing article. In class this week, you will be peer reviewing one another's work. To prepare for this activity:
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading by 5pm on 11/17.
