Cyclopentadiene: Good results, but might have made a little more of the difference between kinetic and thermodynamic control, and which reaction is which.

Prolinols: Good results, but not quantitative. How "much" is coming up from the ring? Dihedral angles? You do not really discuss the Mg...O=C coordination, the difference between that attraction and the repulsion in the next example, or how to improve the models?

Taxol: You do not include any 3D models or even 2D diagrams, so I cannot comment on your geometries. But your energy for compound 2 looks wrong (I suspect the stereochemistry somewhere is wrong, ie trans instead of cis etc).

Chlorodiene: The MO diagrams look fine, but the discussion of the vibrations is very short indeed. Far more discussion was needed here, and evidence of having done the calculation (energies, digital repository DOI etc).

Project. Much better discussion. This part was first class. Interesting results. What about optical rotations?
