<p>I’m going to remain mostly neutral for this post as I don’t really want to get into an argument. However, I will say that writing is EXTREMELY important no matter what you are going in. For your field, being able to write good documentation inside your code and out, being able to express your ideas (as, computer science is more than just being a code monkey), etc. etc. are all essential in the job environment. Writing classes are important and who knows…maybe that is what she was getting at, but in a indirect way.</p>
<p>EDIT: This is coming from someone who plans on going into computer and electrical engineering.</p>
<p>However, I will say that looking at someone’s forum posts does not give you an accurate assessment of one’s writing abilities. Though…I’ll also admit that paragraphs are your friends.</p>
