Answer 1

Here's a short example:

// Connect to the website and parse it into a document
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/aeronautics-and-astronautics/16-050-thermal-energy-fall-2002/").get();

// Select all elements you need (se below for documentation)
Elements elements = doc.select("div[class=chpstaff] p");

// Get the text of the first element
String instructor = elements.first().text();

// eg. print the result
System.out.println(instructor);

I don't know anything about JSoup, but it seems like if you wanted the instructors name you could access it with something like:

Element instructor = doc.select("div.chpstaff div p");

Answer 3

Here is a code

Document document = Jsoup.connect("http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/aeronautics-and-astronautics/16-050-thermal-energy-fall-2002/").get();

        System.out.println(elements.html());
