(A) Evaluating Unit: Group 1 - The Focking Computational Chemists

(B) Evaluated Unit: Group 4 - The Hamiltonophiles

(C) Responses to Various Evaluation Categories
(1) Context Definition and Selection: 13 Points (0-15)
Interesting topic.

(2) Problem Definition and Selection: 14 Points (0-15)
Good definition of the problem being studied and isolation of what you
want to
study in the proposed project.

(3) Choice of Methodology:  15 Points (0-15)
You've done a lot of thinking about your methods used. The explanation and
knowledge is impressive.

(4) Scope of Project: 13 Points (0-15)
Well defined and thought out.

(5) Interpretation: 12 Points (0-15)
Good proposed interpretation of energies, but it couldn't hurt to look at
geometries and charges on structures (especially transition states) to
gain
more insight into the reactions.

(6) Facilities & Feasibility: 5 Points (0-5)

(7) Timeline:  Points 3 (0-5)
You're being very optimistic, especially when using a shared computer with
a
queue! If you're expecting (and asking for) 1-2 days to optimize a TS,
then
expect to wait a few days on the queue before your job even starts.

(8) Pros & Cons: The Verdict. 13 Points (0-15)
Interesting and I would be interested to see your results. I won't expect
them
in the one month proposed, though. Especially if only one of you is really
working on the project.

1. context 13
	interesting problem

2. Problem def. and selection 12
	We are a little concerned about how the problem was isolated.
Won't the absense of the benzene ring affect to activation energy, etc.

3. Choice of Meth. 14
	Good, you seem to know what your doing 

4. Scope 13
	good

5. Interpretation 8
	What do you expect to find?  How would it relate to the 'big
picture'?  There doesn't appear to be a section on this

6.  Fac. and Feas 5

7. Timeline 5

8. Pros and Cons 13
	We found the discussion interesting, especially the thiol
attacking the thiol.
