Robust no, but I get the basic sense

Sure, as long as the material is there
 * 4. Did the research plan presented seem credible and feasible?**

Not really, sure it is a “neglected” group…but I think there are many more politically important groups that one might study before pirates.

It was fine
 * 7. Was the speaking style clear, engaging and well timed?**
