Broader
Curriculum
Each year at Brevard the cur
riculum is altered and new
ones are added in order to keep
the college up-to-date in its
academics. Several courses have
been expanded recently while
additional ones have been placed
on the curriculum for the first
time.
A new approach in the science
department is being used with
the addition of Biology 15,
taught by Mrs. Auth Alexander,
Mrs. Doris Thompson, and Dr.
Robert Jeffers. Biology 15 is
designed to give the student an
over-all look at the basic prin
ciples of life. Both botany and
zoology are integrated into one
fundamental course which gives
the students a unified concept.
Genetics, respiration, and other
fundamentals of life are stress
ed. After the completion of
Biology 15, the student may then
choose between botany or zoo
logy for second semester work.
A new three hour math
course, is being offered under
Mr. Ray Fisher. The math of
finance teaches basic ^ math
while stressing mathematics as
applied to business. The class
includes studies in the proce
dures dealing with discounts,
