    Yeah same here. There was a delay on the ones from the past couple days. Last night I still had over 80 pending from two days ago, but most of those approved this morning. I still have 17 out of 400 pending from yesterday, and all of today's pending. I wouldn't worry.

    Have you been going to the actual colleges website and looking through their class schedule and using that as a source? Or are you just following the link they provide in that spreadsheet and searching? Can't really copy the link from searching the class, so I haven't been providing that.

    I have been just going to the department at a given college after I find out who is teaching it and looking for their Faculty section and getting the email and then providing that link as the 'Source Url"

    Hopefully its right.

    I go to the link provided to find the professor, then if there's no email provided on that page I google them. So, I keep a tab open for each school's provided link, and a tab next to it with a google search starting with the school name, then I just change the prof name. The main page for that professor at that school is usually one of the first results.

    I've found a few that don't exist as well. I just return them to play it safe.

    Be sure you've got it set to show all classes, and not just open classes. Sometimes that's the issue, but I return the ones that just don't show up.

    Anything that is weird or hard to find or listed as Staff, I just return. A lot of the courses are renamed or renumbered as well, or just not offered that semester (eg Biology 101 vs 102). Anything ambiguous I return.

    Read a short message (on average 1-2 sentences) and answer simple yes/no or scale questions

    $.10/hit. Been working these batch hits, good to get numbers up. Did a few yesterday to test it out and paid already. They are fast.

    If it helps anyone, MedCrowd is slowly but surely approving in trickle form. I've got over 1K pending HITs of various kind. I wouldn't worry! Enjoy the holidays.

    On Matt Rubin's Find the Instructor Information, what do you put on the Source URL? The page where you find the instructor's name on the academic catalogs? Or the page where you find the instructor's email address?

    I find the instructors name through the link they give in the spreadsheet. Once you find that link for the course won't work as a source, because it will just link you back to the search before you searched anything.

    I've just been linking the URL to their Email. There really is no way to get the proper source link from that Link they provide in the spreadsheet.

    Only other option is to go look up the college and see if they have a huge PDF file that shows all their courses and who teaches them for the Spring 2013.

    I emailed Matt and asked what exactly he is looking for, for the "Source Url"

    for Matt Rubin hits do you need a source url or only if it wasn't listed?

    lol guess everyone has the same question, never mind then, carry on.
