ability to understand, critique and synthesize oral presentations; review and analyze
written materials; discuss and debate interpretations of scholarly work; and prepare
critical essays.

Sustainability in Arid Lands (3) Feasibility of these concepts are studied thoroughly
with the aim to explore the changing global community. Multi-media presentations, videos,
