Hi Elizabeth
I did some research and tried to compare my courses with those at the U.S. colleges related to Ecology and Environmental science.
Well, as you know we don't have those courses like public communication, critical writing, creative exprerssion, core courses...
But here are the courses that do match: chemistry, physics, mathematics with statistics, biochemistry, general ecology, microbiology, genetics, evolution, geology, pedology, biology of fungi, environmental protection and policy, hidroecology, taxonomy of vascular plants, plant physiology, plant ecology, animal physiology, animal ecology, vertebrate zoology, invertebrate zoology.
We don't have courses like tropical ecology, marine biology, individual research, etc. But as far as I know we cover more subjects in general.
And there is another thing that makes difference. Courses are more specific overthere. For example, we study hidroecology in general here, but in the US they have separate courses for each field of hidroecolgy: river ecology, limnology (study lakes), marine ecology, wetland ecology... We also cover all those fields but in general, not as detailed.
I hope you can find something helpful here and make yourself a better advisor, no mention you are pretty good...
No, I haven't visited the advising center in Sarajevo yet but I have talked to Sanja and I think she is really kind.
And I have one more question that is not related to this topic, but I hope you can answer me here.
If you want apply for a scholarship they require you to be enrolled in some college, and if you want to be enrolled in some college you have to have your financial background available to them. My question is how to get out of that magic circle? What to do first?
Thanks...
Slobodan
