When Studying in the United States Universities

Example Outline
A few notes on this outline:
1. This outline is similar to what you will submit.
2. It is often easier to build each section like II, III, or IV separately and then lay them out in the best perceived order in an outline.
3. The introduction section here is extremely similar to what you will have. However, I would encourage you focusing on that section last.
4. Even before you write the introduction outline section, I would encourage you to write the summary outline section.
5. Similarly, when you work on writing your literature review you should avoid jumping between sections as much as possible. Focus on developing one section at a time. The next to last item you will write is your summary. The last item you write is your introduction. Think: How can I summarize something I have not written. And, How can I introduce the reader to something that I have not even written?
Example Topic: Psychological Aspects of Organ Donation: Individual and Next-of-Kin Donation Decisions
I. Introduction
I. Establish importance of the topic(s) (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
II. Delimit the review to psychological components of the decision (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
III. Describe organization of the paper, indicating that the remaining topics in the outline will be discussed
II. Individual decisions regarding posthumous organ donation
I. Beliefs about organ donation (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
II. Attitudes toward donating (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
III. Stated willingness to donate (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
IV. Summary of research on individual decisions (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
III. Next-of-Kin consent decisions
I. Beliefs about donating others’ organs (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
II. Attitudes toward next-of-kin donations (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
III. Summary of research on next-of-kin consent decisions (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
IV. Methodological issues and directions for future research
I. Improvement in attitude measures and measurement strategy (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
II. Greater differentiation by type of donations (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
III. Stronger theoretical emphasis (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
IV. Greater interdisciplinary focus (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
V. Summary, Implications, and Discussion
I. Summary of points I-IV
II. Need well-developed theoretical models of attitudes and decision making (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
III. Current survey data limited in scope and application points to need for more sophisticated research in the future (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
IV. Need for more sophisticated data analysis techniques (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)
V. Conclusions: Psychology can draw from various subdisciplines for an understanding of donation decisions so interventions strategies can be identified. Desperately need to increase available supply of donor organs. (INCLUDE REFERENCES in this SECTION of the OUTLINE)

Background:
Look at the outline example provided above. Build your outline one section at a time. Then organize your sections in an order that makes sense. Then write your summary section of the outline. Finally, complete the introduction section of the outline. My topic for this assignment is:
Title: The Challenges Faced by Saudi Female International Graduate Students When Studying in Universities in the United States
There are several existing studies that have introduced the challenges that Saudi international students face; however, most of these studies focus only on male students. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the challenges faced by Saudi female international graduate students when studying in U.S. Universities. The study will employ a mixed method approach; there will be a quantitative method, which will be a survey, with no less than thirty participants, and a qualitative method, which will include interviews with fifteen participants, as well as observations and review of social media posts. This study will answer the following questions: 1- What are the challenges that Saudi female graduate students faced when they participate in U.S. higher education? 2- How do these challenges impact their study? 3- How do Saudi international female students overcome these challenges? This research is significant due to the increasing number of Saudi female students studying at U.S. Universities. There are many International Saudi female scholars in the US who were able to cope with all obstacles and succeed. I want to do this study to produce solid comprehensive research that addresses the gap in the existing literature that focuses on these obstacles separately.

I gave you an abstract to know what is my study about. So please use the scholarly articles uploaded. I want you also to be positive and be careful with your words and I want good positive critical writing. Such as how amazing the U.S.A universities faculty for supporting international students and the positive impact of the U.S.A university on international students. You can disagree respectively with the education system and be critical and ask for change in some policies to offer more support for international students.
Preparation:
This assignment should be completed using APA guidelines and should include the following sections. Please see the uploaded Dissertation Guide chapter 2- LITERATURE REVIEW to fully understand the work but in this assignment you follow the example provided above.
Section 1: Thesis Statement (For clarity purposes this is sort of a combination of your purpose and problem statement.) Thesis defined: a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved.
Section 2: Topic Statement
Section 3: Well identified Chapter 2 Main Sections
Section 4: Well-identified Chapter 2 Sub-Sections
Section 5: Several References included on all Sub-Sections
