Sense perception is a way of knowing as with senses we learn many things such has how something looks, sound, feel, taste and smell. However, without our understanding and reason we do not know what we are seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling.
During class, we watched videos where they "trick" our perception. Colour changes were being made while we were focused on a particular action or object. Even so we do not "see" the changes, I think we do perceive the changes of color and things that we are not focused on but our reason and understanding ignore it and push it to the back. As we are focused onto other things, our mind believes that what we see is insignificant.
Most of us are all born with our senses; however unlucky individuals may not be born with fully functional senses such as people with hearing disability. This does not affect our learning of knowledge through senses as there are other senses to replace that sense lost such as for hearing disability, we can see and learn to read lips. However, losing all senses would be impossible to use senses as a way of knowing and that person would have trouble with communicating and understanding the world around us.
Conclusion, without sense perception it would be very hard to know knowledge as sense is the primary basic factor to it. We are still able to survive without one of our senses but can you imagine not having all? We would be unable to do many of the things we do now. It is the fault of our reason that we could get perception wrong; therefore it is an accurate way of knowing.
