1.2.1 Cp Dimers: Would have been nice to see some Jmol structures. Energies are correct even though the structures you have drawn are wrong, slightly odd that. Under kinetic control would you really form the thermodynamic product?

1.2.2 NAD: Again, inclusion of Jmol structures would have been good. A tad skimpy on details and analysis.

1.2.3 Taxol: Nice to see energies and structures for all four isomers. Rather than VDW forces causing differences in energies between 9 and 10 are there any other structural features, perhaps across the ring, that could cause this? Two dead Jmol links here. 1.3.1 Carbene: Largely fine. Nice to see you’re looking at the effect of substituents.

Mini-Project: It seems a lot of work went into this part. One dead Jmol link though. Nice to see an attempt at graphically representing your calculated data, although relative differences between graphs are rather hard to asses by eye. Also nice to see coupling simulations. A little vague at points though.

Overall: A little bare at points and you could try to be more concise at times. Overall, a good attempt.
