Overall - 91% An excellent report. Well done. I can tell you were really interested as you’ve made the report really interesting to read. Main fault is that you didn’t make time at the end to read through and check it all, as there are a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes! This is understandable due to the time pressure though, just be aware of this for future reports  Otherwise only a few points:

Cyclopentadiene 8/8

Nice pie charts! Good way to clearly illustrate the data. This is the only report I’ve seen with this –great! And good discussion

Taxol 10/12

Nice bar chart to present differences – again a great way of clearly showing the result. Excellent discussion but no mention of hyperstable olefins!

Spectroscopy 20/25

The way this is written is quite confusing! In future reports, be sure to go through and re-read it to make sure it flows before submission. A conclusion would have been good as you don’t say which you have decided to model and why. Why do present carbonyl down data and show a picture of carbonyl up?!

13C – What does sulphur do to NMR? You state this could be a reason for thwe divergence, but haven’t given reasons why. Heavy atoms need extra corrections in NMR!

1H - good

Epoxide

NMR 5/5

Fantastic NMR and discussion

Crystal structure 5/5

Great!

Absolute Configuration 35/35

All fantastic. Good point about ORP and literature values, and excellent discussion. Nice you included VCD and discussed it appropriately. TS analysis great.

QTAIM, NCI, Suggestion 8/10

Excellent and well laid out, but no suggestion!
