strange... i wouldn't be hiring those bio grads... and yeah, as time goes on the amount of 'can't be found' courses in rubin hits gets closer and closer to 100%, and since they've been up since yesterday that's pretty much going to be the case til they're gone...
well, I'm going to take the chance and keep doing them. There's still 600+ left, I wouldn't think it would be like that but at the same time, it's the reason he is having us look it up anyway right. I mean he want's to see if the class is offered for some reason. Cross my fingers. Oh and you are extremely helpful Squatch, I appreciate it to the umpteenth degree and hope I'll be able to help out in this forum eventually like you do. I looked at one of those E-cig rewrites for 2300 words....I don't know. It takes me a while to look at a sentence and rewrite it making it sound right and have proper grammar/punctuation....and I thought I was a good writer before I came to Mturk......Epic Fail.
I'm happy I snatched one Ecig up on my vacation week.... sad I missed this one too though Did get some CopyText mini-batch work done though. Love those French requesters!
what is most helpful for me is not rewriting each sentence, but just restating the whole thing in my own words and making sure all the original ideas are in there, in a different order in most cases. it definitely helps to do a few to get a hang of the style and vocabulary, which makes it a lot easier, and also yeah, if you're confident in your command of grammar, punctuation and spelling it's definitely much easier without having to do more than give it a once-over before you submit. try some shorter writing hits to build confidence and get a handle on how long they take you and what you might be struggling with versus what is easy for you. most of the writing hits are the same style - rewrite a review/article/blog post, so the overall process will get easier even if the topics are always changing.

on the topic of asher, I did 10 of those rewrites on halloween, it took until just this week for her to look at them. I got 7 approved, 3 rejects.
haha... not sure i'm going to attempt this explanation right now... but you do know some discrete math, it includes things like boolean logic and algebra, probability, things like that where you're not dealing with functions that produce a result, but what to do with a bunch of numbers that were dropped out of the sky... okay that's a really bad explanation... i'm just gonna go back to this hotel review...

only the last two nights... i don't have a car, it's cold as shit, and the nearest store is about a mile away... also, tombstones don't cost any less than $5.99 dominos pizzas around here...
Good deal sasquatch. I'm getting pizza tonight as well. And I personally prefer public transit over my car, so...
Took a hour break from Matt R's Hits. Time to get back to work. Going to try to kills at least 500 more
