+# OSG School 2024 Assignment
+
+The School focused on using high-throughput computing (HTC) to support and transform research.
+Your final assignment lets you show what you learned and how you might apply your new abilities.
+We ask for it to:
+
+-   Reinforce and consolidate what you learned at the School
+-   Prepare you to take real action on your large-scale computational challenge(s)
+-   Demonstrate the value of the School to our funding agencies and to your advisor, colleagues, etc.
+-   Guide us as we try to improve the School
+
+## Option 1: Lightning Talk on Last Day of School
+
+<span style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold;">If you did a lightning talk on Friday, August 9,</span>
+it was your final assignment and you are done.
+
+## Option 2: Short Write-Up
+
+For most people, the assignment is a short write-up.
+This is not a formal paper, report, essay, or anything like that.
+We will not publish your write-up&nbsp;&mdash; it is just between you and us.
+
+### Content guidelines
+
+For the content, think of a written version of a lightning talk:
+
+1.  Describe your science for a broad audience in 1 paragraph to 1 page (this is a good life skill!)
+1.  Describe one computing challenge that you want to work on (also 1 paragraph to 1 page)
+1.  Explain your plan to work on that challenge with the new things you learned at the School (probably a whole page)
+
+For the last part, your audience is the School staff,
+so you do not have to re-explain concepts and methods that we explained here.
+Instead, write about how you will apply those things!
+
+You are welcome to dive into details (like resource needs, etc.),
+but be sure to start with the high-level plan so we understand the context.
+
+Be sure to put most of your effort into the third part, the plan.
+If you paste in three pages of intro from another paper,
+and then write one paragraph about your plan,
+we will probably ask for more details on the plan!
+
+### Format guidelines
+
+-   Write at least a full page and **no more** than four pages of text (single-spaced)
+-   Add images, tables, or figures if you like; they may cause your total page count to go over four pages
+-   Do not take time to add citations, references, etc.
+-   Email your write-up as a PDF (only!) to the <school@osg-htc.org> list
+
+### Deadline
+
+The paper is due 20 September 2024.
+Contact us early if you need an extension.
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you have any questions or comments about the assignment,
+please contact us at the <school@osg-htc.org> mailing list.
