Does stroke order matter?

I am very new to learning Mandarin and in my 101 class at university my 老师 mentioned stroke order for writing characters but we were never quizzed on it. By the time the exams came around I felt as long as I could get the character to look correct on paper than stroke order was not important. For the more advanced people here, how important is it to learn and apply stroke order?
