Cpd dimers: Could be written a little more concisely, but very good answers nonetheless.

Taxol: Your 9 chair jmol is definitely not a chair. Why analyse just the chair and twist boat, what happened to the boat? Reduces what strain exactly?

Carbene: Good to see you noticed the issue of PM6 and orbital symmetry. I like your moving jmols.

Glycosidation: Okay, MM2 and MOPAC take into account different factors, but why do they do this? What is the basic, fundamental difference between the two methods? Do you notice any similarities between the energies of the different isomers when using the different methods? How will the difference in the methods affect the calculated energies? Not a bad attempt though. As an aside, “produce products” is a terrible phrase to use.

Mini-project: A shame you didn’t choose your own project. Nice introduction though. Good to see you highlighting the difference in NMR shifts. A good way to visually highlight data like this to a reader is through the use of a graph; say a bar chart. A little brief, but a good attempt all the same.

Overall: A pretty good attempt. It feels like you slightly ran out of time for the glycosidation and mini-project, the analysis there was a little brief but still, well done.
