1.2.1 Cp dimers: That’s quite a lengthy answer, it’s a good one though.

1.2.2 NAD: Good to see you presenting your minimisation graphically. Excellent analysis.

1.2.3 Taxol: A very good analysis. However, your structure for A is not fully optimised (the energy should be around 48 kcal mol-1).

1.3.1 Carbene: Good to see you’ve picked up on the bug in PM6 and that you are contrasting and comparing the results of more than one method. Another lengthy but thorough analysis.

Mini-project: Good introduction and exploration of the mechanism. A good presentation of your results as well. Some fantastically accurate calculations here. Some well presented conclusions too. An excellent project.

Overall:  : We’re not looking for essays, your answers really were FAR too long and I found them rather difficult to wade through after a while; I’m sure you could have summarised the salient points into something less half the length. Although it’s a matter of personal taste, I find rotating Jmols incredibly irritating. Despite the over-enthusiastic length, a very good piece of work.
