<p>Yes, I imagine almost no one gets told to take writing. I can’t see Brown doing that.</p>
<p>But, of course, everyone should take writing. Absolutely. </p>
<p>BTW, for amusement, I remember - and if any of my classmates are looking in, they will also remember - this beginning phrases (at least supposedly) from a paper by one of our peers - a very successful person, btw:</p>
<p>“On The Road is a collection of nouns and verbs, liberally sprinkled with adjectives and adverbs, written by a modern day Hemingway …” </p>
<p>I had a roommate who wrote worse but nothing that quotable.</p>
