For your contemplation:


doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url))
raw_course_list = doc.css("tr").collect { |row|
  t_row = row.css("td").collect { |column| column.text.strip }
  t_row.insert(2, "") if (t_row[1] == "TBA")
}.reject{ |i| i.size != 4 }


This isn't guaranteed to work because we're dealing with pieces of the
HTML you are parsing. Give us a sample with ALL the variations in it
and we can stop shooting in the dark.
