To me studying is the learning you do. Writing essays is purely so the teacher can see what you’ve learnt.

So I can see how not writing essays doesn’t contradict learning.

    Writing essays is a skill in itself, not sure how you'd acquire that skill without practicing it

    If you’re learning a writing course, maybe that’s a relevant skill to have. Often it’s not however.

    Learning how to share your thoughts in a way the the reader will understand is a skill universally useful no matter the future white-collar job, from making sparkling water to software engineering.

    Writing the essays is how you drill the information into your brain, it is the act of learning. You need to critically think about the subject matter to write the essay in a way you likely won't have when you were first taught the information.
