    It looks like I missed out on a decent batch of MedCrowd this morning. :(

    We use Sakai for our company's intranet and even it's above what I'd dick around with.

    Kind of. Sakai is similar to blackboard. It's a web platform that is kind of a supplement to IRL classes. It can also be referring to the whole system that a school users for registering, looking up courses etc (CMS course management system). It usually has a name that is based of the school name or school mascot, and it is usually password protected (but might offer guest access). I went to NYU and it was called NYUHome there.
    (If I'm wrong someone feel free to correct me)

    I'm not doing these HITs fwiw, I don't think 40 mins is enough time to find all the info.

    I keep hearing Rubin is unhappy with the work being done but how is this known? Are people talking to him through email?

    You can have all my returns, Sas, I'm not in for this until I do my homework a bit more. I only completed a few. I'm familiar with the blackboard deal b/c my son does the colorado virtual academy. But, I couldn't find the administrators for the life of me and I need better research skills for this one. THx.

    It took me about 20 mins to do the first one, and I don't even know for sure that it's right. I found what their system was called pretty easily, but then to locate specific people's emails, I searched the school's faculty/staff directory. I hope it's good enough.

    The sakai site gives a list of the participating universities but no links to their systems, admin etc.

    Just looking at all the steps in the process, it's obvious people are putting in no effort.

    I tried finding the info without accepting a HIT and couldn't. I won't bother doing it so anyone who wants to can.

    Also, I agree with that one poster. A little off topic discussion isn't bad, but the whole drugs and sex talk is a bit much.


    Oddly enough, I've seen the same talk about other requesters and it's always from the same posters. I've got access to other turking forums and they don't post on their. It's either through email or telepathy.

    the one instance i'm aware of with this requester was a regular poster here who received an email mentioning this, but rubin has since put up a number of batches. nothing like two weeks ago, but he's been around every day or two (or three) with some hits since this email.

    I guess to some degree. I'm just wondering if anyone has suggested to him to put up a qualification test or to join the forum. I've talked to Nick from Piazza? but it's always been questions about the hit.

    I'd love to give these Rubin's a go, but I don't want to keep submitting half-done HITs because the information is nearly impossible to locate without feeling rushed the entire time. I left some comments/feedback for him, so hopefully I hear back.

    Right. My bad. Yeah I can't speak for the Sakai based HITs, but I can tell the find the course information that's 30 cents is spammed out, whereas find the instructor is generally very easy. You would have to be stupid, IMHO, to submit BS on those.

    Stay away from tonight's Amazon Labs listings. Qual just revoked without explanation, and several HITs in a row rejected despite following instructions exactly.

    EDIT: just got an email from them saying it was an error. Disregard. :)
