  • How many times did you run the experiment with a different set of parameters?
  • Did you try something else that didn't work?
  • Can you explain to me how your project relates to (some scientific principle)?
  • Do you think there is an application in industry for this knowledge (technique)?
  • Were there any books that helped you do your analysis?
