I’m not so sure that writing in a school setting does much to improve writing skills. I think getting some co-op experience where you might learn why you are writing and who you are writing to makes it more real and more applicable, and is therefore more beneficial. I don’t think you can learn to write when the “assignment” is to write 600 word on… In the real world the only people who care how many words are the newspapers that have to fill square inches with print or ads, and we all know how well those are doing. Your boss will want the minimum number of words to clearly explain whatever you need to explain…
