1.2.1 Cp dimers: Excellent answer, well discussed and referenced.

1.2.2 NAD: Another excellent answer. Good to see your optimisation presented graphically (very few people think to do this, or even discuss their optimisation at all).

1.2.3 Taxol: Good discussion of hyperstable alkenes. Your structure for 10 is wrong so your energies are out. Typically, energies are given in kcal mol-1, although we should be giving them in kJ mol-1 no one really does.

1.3.1 Carbene: Looks good. Nice to see you tried modifying the substituents.

Mini-project: Good choice of structures, very little conformational flexibility. Nice to see the differences in the NMR spectra being presented graphically. Good comments on the limits of a computational approach.

Overall: A very good piece of coursework, very little to fault and also (thanks for this) well presented.
