    Email rubin and let them know. They only pay low because people fight for them.

    If anyone is having a bit of trouble with these, this trick has helped me a bit. Do a search for the provided course title plus the name of the university. Generally, this search will lead you to a course number. I personally feel most comfortable when I can give them a link to the current catalog or course schedule on the university site (I don't like the link I provide to be to a course review site or something). So, once you've got a possible current course number and title, do another Google search with the course number and title and school name. If you're lucky, this might give you a direct link to the information on the official university website. That's when I feel like I've really accurately found what they are asking for in the HIT. I'm sorry if that was wordy. Hope it helps somebody else. As sas has pointed out, this is of no help when the damn site is down.

    sounds like too much work, and remember, next semester's courses may not be posted online yet, or may be in PDFs which aren't indexed as well by google. i've found every catalog i've looked for so far:

    Confirmed I'm the worst Rubin HITter ever. I have the course catalog in front of me, and none of these classes are even close.

    What are the best HITs to do for the sake of increasing my approved HIT count? Redwood HITs are quick and easy, but inconsistent, although I will do them when they're available.

    Porn Flagging hits usually instant approve. I think I did Jim Young and something else when I was starting up.

    These guys are kind of strict, so flag even the borderline stuff.

    No reason to be rude. I have made $63.99 on 115 hits. Yes I am still a noob and I admit it, however this is why I joined this forum.

    the saddleback link is just for the school of engineering, which is of course very useful for these hits, but here is the entire catalog:
