Cp: Energies are fine. Would have been nice to see e.g. JMols of your structures. Also a diagram to show what you mean by "secondary orbital interactions".

NAD: Again, hard for me to check your structures without JMols. Was there only 1 conformation for each compound?

Taxol: Structures look OK. What were their energies? You haven't really explained (in structural terms) the key reason for the lack of reactivity of the alkene.

Carbene: OK

Mini-project: As you state towards the end, the key differentiating feature between these isomers would be the number of resonances in the 13C NMR. But you haven't explained why - what are their symmetry properties? (And why does your calculation give more peaks?)

Overall - generally good but a bit brief on discussion, and rotatable structures would have made marking easier!
