(A) Evaluating Unit: Group 1

(B) Evaluation of Group 2

(C) Responses to Various Evaluation Categories

(1) Topic and Paper Selection: 10 Points (0-15)
 The use of semiempirical methods for geometry optimization of anions is
not reliable.  A paper with reliable methods would have been better.

(2) Synopsis and Identification of Specific Problem: 12 Points (0-15)

(3) Computational Section: 8 Points (0-10)

(4) Format, Number and Types of Questions: 9 Points (0-10)

(5) Quality of the Questions: 19 Points (0-20)
Excellent questions.

(6) Presentation & Defense: 18 Points (0-20)

(7) Overall Impression. 8 Points (0-10)

Evaluation by Group 3
The Hueckelberries (3)
Nitrosamine (2)

(1) Topic and Paper Selection: 10
        Semi-empirical methods are not very good for computation.

(2) Synopsis and Identification of Specific Problem: 12
        Specific problem is not clearly defined, what significance beyond
the scope of the paper?

(3) Computational Section:  8
        Need more information to answer the questions.

(4)  Format, number, types of questions: 10
        Criteria met.

(5)  Quality of Questions:  13.5
        Question 2&4 seemed unnecessary

(6)  Presentation and Defense:  18
       Good, but a little hard to follow.

(7)  Overall Impression:  7.5
        Semi-emperical methods aren't dealt with in this class, problem
set would not be appropriate.

Total score:  79

Section 1: 14/15
    Very interesting choice of paper
Section 2: 13.5/15
   
Section 3: 7.5/10

Section 4: 7/10
   Some of the catagories for the questions appear to be wrong, eg. qu.2

Section 5: 14/20
   We found question 5 very confusing- maybe that is a consiquence of its
length. Question 4 was not very in depth. It could have done with being
related to the general goal of the paper a bit more, giving it more
significance 

Section 6: 16.5/20
   The overheads could have done with being a lot less crowded. 

Section 7: 8/10
