I'm taking MCom 320 this semester. It's a college requirement and I have to say that it's been a little bit annoying to have to review (at the college level) things as basic as font sizes and basic page layout on a business document. And the primary color wheel. Really. Am I to assume that I'll be tested on this stuff? That's part of the lesson I'm currently working on.
Now I know that's not review for some 19 year-old kid out there who's never painted or colored but I'm guessing that they're few and far between. Some people--I suppose--do come into college not having taken art in elementary school (if they attended say...Gulag elementary). Come on.
Sure, maybe they all didn't have basic television broadcast classes in which you are taught to compare and contrast the additive and subtractive color systems.
So I get that part.
Anyway, I'm a bit older than the average student and I did have that training back in the day.
I also have to review symmetrical and asymmetrical layout on the page. And document scanning and email protocol. Some of these things just seem so remedial to be studying--y'know, at this point in my life.
