    Nice...better than my favorite one I had today. Zach Fast, I pictured him as some kind of superhero who can't satisfy a woman.

    Just to let everyone (who is still up...lol) I found that www.myedu.com has helped me out a lot for the Rubin HITs (find professor and email)

    I signed up (so you can see the information) First I search the School name: Course number: and then I put professor in front of that so it looks like this in Google: "University of Stevens Point WI CIS 417 professor"

    Usually a search result will pop up from www.myedu.com and it has the professor for that course and what semester. Then I take that name and search the school name with the name I got plus add "email" in front of that and I usually get a hit that pops up with that email.

    I'll add all of these URL's in the notes and usually finish them in around 3-5 minutes.

    Hope this helps. I've sure had a rough time with them. 54 done for today....we'll see what happens tomorrow.

    Just did about 200 redwood hits in the past hour and a half. It will put me over 1000 when/if they approve. How long do they usually take to approve?

    I really appreciate this help. Makes so much more sense, but I guess the lack of sleep from my li'l guy keeping me up all night is making this a few hundred times harder than it should be.

    you should try to find the emails, i've been able to find 99.999999% of them just googling the name of the school and the professor's name, it's usually the first result except for professors who are listed on the schedule with a name they don't go by...

    Does anyone happen to know if Rubin will be putting up any HITS involving finding the course name and # any time soon? I was able to go through those at a much quicker pace than the professor ones. I just thought somebody might have found out in the course of contacting him to ask questions, etc.

    yes, there are three kinds of 'ranks' for professors, assistant professor, associate professor, and professor, they are all professors of the university, the rank just indicates usually their level of experience, length of tenure, and salary level, although there's a lot of political shenanigans involved with getting promoted from assistant to associate, and associate to full professor...

    Also, you can use site: to limit the search to a domain for google. For example

    site:uaf.edu professor name

    To find a professor for the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

    Been up for 24 hours, made $147 off the Rubin hits. They're officially funding my New Years vacation.

    The easiest and fastest way I have found to do the instructor HITs is to find 10-15 different schools that have an easy to navigate schedule of classes and then a directory for faculty and students. I then just skip through the HITs till I find those schools. Also I have only used google maybe once or twice to find any of the information.

    Most of the universities have a course schedule that lists the instructor, it just requires some digging sometimes. That is why I recommend just picking universities that you are sure you can find the information for and keeping them open in separate tabs or windows. I can normally get one done in about 1 minute, and then however long it takes to skip to the next one that fits my criteria, which entirely depends on what universities are popping up the most at that time.

    I posted this in the Rubin thread, but I know some people have not looked in there so I thought I would put in here also.

    Yeah, now that I've got 7-10 schools I have figured out, it's going much faster if I grab those ones. It's late, I'm tired, but this is good money and only 700+ left in this batch.

    this is pretty much what i've been saying since the hits were posted. i honestly haven't come up with a single class schedule that doesn't have professor names. remember, there's a difference between a course catalog and class schedule. there are some that have an email icon next to them with the professor's email address but that's been rare, and it didn't always have the address even when the icon was there. 10 second google search takes care of that. but seriously, these shouldn't take more than a minute or a minute and a half once you've got all the schedules open. not that i want more people to be doing these and eating up all the hits but, just sayin' :p

    I did one, got all the info and realized I didn't accept it. I went to accept it and it changed. :( I've done that many times and was fine. WTF!

    I still need to know what to do with lecturer if anyone knows. Thanks.
