Yes. It helps you to consolidate and articulate your thoughts in a structured, intelligible way. Writing an essay also allows you to utilize more complex grammatical structures than are usually used in day to day language use, so it can also help develop your grammatical competency in a language.

One purpose is to gauge how well a student understands a topic. In a history class you could ask a question such as: How did the conditions in Europe contribute to the rise of racism ?

That would be useful essay to have students write. Also one that could probably be easily done in chatGPT or similar
