Science and Writing

My students really think that they shouldn't have to write in my class. After all, science isn't writing... And it is very hard to convince them that they need to write in all of their classes.

Because you have to write in all jobs. Even if it is just writing your resume or job application, if you sound silly or stupid you probably won't get the job. If you have to write emails to customers and they are full of mistakes those customers may decide to take their business elsewhere. If you have to write instructions for other employees and they don't make sense, the instructions may not be followed.

You have to be able to express yourself in way that means people understand what you are saying and want to listen what you have to say in the first place.
