<p>well not necessarily. </p>
<p>I depends. I would say that if you are doing some research that will be published then maybe. But that's not to say that you dish out a new one every week. It takes a awhile to experiment; in the project you are in is really involved it can take up to 1+ years. </p>
<p>Generally though, you don't have to write papers for science classes. Unless of course you are taking some graduate level science class which you will have to write a research paper at the end.</p>
<p>So basically what i am saying is that, science majors do not have to write alot, but we do have to memorize everything little detail.</p>
