Student:  I’ve got all my data, so I’m starting to summarize it now, preparing graphs and stuff. But I’m just. . . I’m looking at it and I’m afraid that it’s not enough, but I’m not sure what else to put in the report.
Professor: I hear the same thing from every student. You know, you have to remember now that you’re the expert on what you’ve done. So, think about what you’d need to include if you were going to explain your research project to someone with general or casual knowledge about the subject, like . . . like your parents. That’s usually my rule of thumb: would my parents understand this?
Student: OK. I get it.
Professor: I hope you can recognize by my saying that how much you do know about the subject. ????

Why does the professor say this?
Professor: I hope you can recognize by my saying that how much you do know about the subject.

答案是 to offer an encourage.
为什么我觉得是 to explain a theory啊??

你粘上来的这一整段都是教授在鼓励学生啊。没有牵扯到任何theory explain的内容

老师之前说道在这个课题上他是expert级别的，后面的一大堆都是在教这个学生作为砖家应该怎么介绍他的课题。
而“I hope you can recognize by my saying that how much you do know about the subject.”这句话直译就是“我希望你能听出来，我认为你对这个课题的理解已经够深入的了”，所以应该是鼓励学生吧。
