All the knowledge I’ve gained in the past two weeks has been underwhelming yet humbling.
These past two weeks have reminded me of the gaps in my knowledge of web design and semantics. Most of the content in this class so far has been reviews of content I learned last semester in the AAD85 class. Even though I took this course only 4 months ago, it is amazing how much your brain tosses out when you’re not actively putting your skills to use. So more than anything, this class has humbled me and reminded me how important it is to continuously practice your skills in order to maintain the knowledge in these areas. Granted, there are much less learning curves when re-learning a topic, but still disappointing nonetheless. So even if you’re not using your semantics knowledge for a practical instance, refresh your skills and keep using them.
