• Pragmatic approach to research - reuse existing data where possible; avoid primary data collection
• Uses of NLP - not necessarily how to do NLP
• How to apply NLP to audience's research
• Who can help attendees learn more about NLP or use NLP in their research project.
• Dr. Kwan speaking about social media for research at same time as my presentation
• Should have quiz questions, questions to ponder, exercises, etc. to keep audience engaged.
