Use class or type selector?

So this is what I got out of the lesson:

  1. Use class selectors if the styling is going to be used in more than one instance.
  2. Also class selectors to add semantic meaning.

Are these assumptions correct?

Yes, type selectors also help add consistency to all of your page documents. If you want to make a change to one of the properties or attributes on all of the pages you just make one change in your css rather than having to make the change in all of your corresponding documents.
