<h1>Academic Integrity & Usage Policy</h1>
<div class="subtitle">Please read before using this tool in any academic context.</div>
</div>
<div class="doc-shell">
<!-- ── Top warning ── -->
<div class="alert alert-warn" style="margin-top:28px;">
<strong>⚠ Important Notice</strong>
This tool is designed as a <em>learning aid</em> — to help you
visualise, verify, and understand the bisection method step by step.
It is <strong>not</strong> intended to be used in place of your own work
in graded assignments, quizzes, or examinations.
</div>
<!-- ── 1. What this tool is ── -->
<div class="sec">
<div class="sec-head">
<span class="sec-icon">🎯</span>
<h2>What This Tool Is For</h2>
</div>
<div class="sec-body">
<p>
The Numerical Analysis Workbench is a free, open educational resource built to
help students of numerical analysis <strong>understand</strong> how root-finding
algorithms like bisection and false position work — not to do their coursework for them.
</p>
<p>Legitimate uses include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Checking your own hand-calculated results <em>after</em> you have worked through a problem yourself.</li>
<li>Visualising convergence behaviour and understanding why the bracket narrows.</li>
<li>Exploring how different stopping criteria (tolerance vs. iteration count) affect accuracy.</li>
<li>Self-study and revision outside of assessed contexts.</li>
<li>Teaching demonstrations by an instructor.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- ── 2. Academic dishonesty ── -->
<div class="sec">
<div class="sec-head">
<span class="sec-icon">🚫</span>
<h2>What Constitutes Academic Dishonesty</h2>
</div>
<div class="sec-body">
<p>
Using this tool to generate answers that you then submit as your own work —
without genuine understanding or independent effort — is a form of
<strong>academic dishonesty</strong>. This includes, but is not limited to:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Copying iteration tables produced by this tool directly into assignment submissions.</li>
<li>Using the auto-detected bracket or computed root during a closed-book test or exam.</li>
<li>Submitting screenshots or exports from this tool as evidence of your own working.</li>
<li>Sharing tool outputs with other students to help them avoid doing the work themselves.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Whether an act constitutes cheating is determined by your institution's academic
integrity policy, not by this tool or its creators. When in doubt, ask your instructor.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- ── 3. No liability ── -->
<div class="sec">
<div class="sec-head">
<span class="sec-icon">⚖️</span>
<h2>Limitation of Liability</h2>
</div>
<div class="sec-body">
<p>
This tool is provided <strong>"as is"</strong>, free of charge, for educational purposes only.
The creator(s) of this workbench accept no responsibility or liability for:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Any academic penalty, disciplinary action, or consequence arising from a
user's choice to misuse this tool in an assessed context.
</li>
<li>
Numerical results that differ from a student's expected answer due to
differences in rounding conventions, function interpretation (e.g. natural
log vs. base-10 log, radians vs. degrees), or floating-point precision.
</li>
<li>
Any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by reliance on this tool's output
without independent verification.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>The responsibility for how this tool is used rests entirely with the user.</strong>
If you are uncertain whether using a computational aid is permitted in your
course or institution, consult your instructor or academic integrity office before proceeding.

<!-- ── 4. A note to instructors ── -->
<div class="sec">
<div class="sec-head">
<span class="sec-icon">👩🏫</span>
<h2>A Note to Instructors</h2>
</div>
<div class="sec-body">
<p>
If you are an instructor and have concerns about students misusing this tool,
we recommend designing assessments that require students to demonstrate
understanding of the <em>process</em> rather than just the final answer —
for example, asking students to explain their bracket choice, interpret
convergence graphs, or analyse error behaviour.
</p>
<p>
This tool intentionally shows every intermediate step so that a student who
simply copies output without understanding it is likely to struggle when asked
to explain or extend their work in class or in an oral assessment.
</p>

<!-- ── 5. Good faith note ── -->
<div class="alert alert-ok">
<strong>✔ Our Good-Faith Commitment</strong>
This tool was built in good faith to support genuine learning. No data you enter
is stored, sent to any server, or tracked in any way — everything runs entirely
in your browser. We believe most users will use it honestly, and we trust you to
make the right choice.
