Quote by: Gods_Mercenary  I agree that the essay requires too much training, but it also gives you awareness of how to formulate a decent argument when you don't have a month to do it. It's a very helpful skill, few of us will have to write long, edited and reviewed papers in our non-academic life, but almost all will have to argue for or against something in a few well, if not superbly written paragraphs. |
I agree with that. It demonstrates a basic literacy to say the least. (a good essay)
